Metalheads React | SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL - Baba Yaga | Reaction

[@urbanshade3930]

Some references, that can be found there. Baba Yaga - in slavic folklore its witch, that lives in deep forest (word Baba or Баба in russian means either grandmother or countryside style of calling any woman. Thats kinda rude, but still), and in some stories acts as helper to hero of story, and sometimes works as "horror" antagonist, like she's stealing children and cook em in big pot. Also, btw, anthropologists, who study russian folklore also associates Baba Yaga with... How to say that. Like gatekeeper between real world and world of the dead, like clear origins of that character are somewhat unclear. In famous John Wick series John's nickname is Baba Yaga, altough she's clearly mythologycally woman, no male counterpart. So i can think that they either played on topic of either Alex acting as Baba Yaga, like some of russian lyrical parts saying, or he acted as killer of witch, because you can see, that body parts - head look like kinda womans head. So, he killed and they with boys eaten Baba Yaga, presumably. Also, interior in start of video is clearly interior of traditional russian/slavic home from mid-ages to even nowadays in countryside parts of Russia. One of boys also cooked some body parts in pot in start. So, thats mythological references. English lyrics and some parts of russian one are in style of "Im so tough, cool, dont cross way before me", etc. So i assume, thats probably reference to John Wick, like all that lasers pointed at Alex, tank, rocket launcher, bulletproof west. Also, scene in the end, where they play russian roulette - they all wearing russian gopnik, or 90-2000's russian mafia style clothing, thats why tracksuits with gold chains, leather jackets, etc. It is canonical look of russian gangster from mid nineties to up to 2010. Also, whole scene, i think, is reference to somewhat "cultish" russian dark comedy, called Жмурки, or Jmurki in stransliteration. I dont know, how to translate that word in context, because there can be serious wordplay. That is very obscure, gory and dark comedy about some unfortunate russian bandits and their doings. Also, i think, that song is somewhat collection of all russian related stereotypes, like bear, russian house, baba yaga (folklore witch), tank, rocket launcher, AK rifle, winter, bandits, vodka, russian roulette. But its not just like stereotypes, but whole design of video is not just make fun of em, but to make em look cool and stylish, so group definetely embracing that "folklore". Sorry for bad english and long post

Thank you for this post! I love information like this. I understood you perfectly!

[@andyk2607]

There are parts that do actually sound like early Slipknot though. Nice fusion of deathcore and groove

Are you seriously telling actual Russians what vodka to drink?!

Baba Yaga comes from Slavic mythology. She was a terrible witch who lived deep in the woods in a chicken's paw hut. She kidnapped people, mostly children, and ate them.

[@adammercy3588]

Go check out the behind the scenes of the baba yaga video. Alex straight up growls at the bear, and the bear looks absolutely scared while wrestling with Alex.

[@yulefitzgerald6017]

the bear's name is Tom, according to his instagram ;)

[@qotsa1234]

Yes it sounds like iowa's slipknot, but heavier.

[@19FlyingWombat76]

Alex is a huge Slipknot Fan and Corey loves him as well. I just read in FB that STP is on Knotfest this fall.....let`s see if that`s true but it came from the Slipknot account so there`s a 95% chance. BTW: White Russian is Wodga, CalUa and Milk ;) Never seen "The Big Lebowsky?!

[@daleneal1783]

I thought it meant grandmother witch

[@АлександраБелугина-м8е]

@@daleneal1783 it has sense also bc in some Slavic-Eastern fairytales she appears as the wise (but not so good anyway) grandmother for the main character (it’s often young man but can possibly be young woman too) who is looking for some advice how to defeat the main evil.

[@kevinmcgaughey8247]

In one of alex vids he was asking for ideas and he stated “if you like bands like” and if I remember correctly the first band was slipknot...also attila was mentioned, hatebreed mushugga

[@digthis18]

It was the start of his cover billie eyelash song

This track is awesome I love all the elements to it & yea their mixing is def always on point too. Don't worry I'm not gonna slap ya when I first listened to this song slipknot entered my mind as well haha I do feel the genre vibes. P.S. heck yea Snuggles best bear name.

If Slipknot was a Russian deathcore band. Perhaps in an alternate universe. These guys gave us a taste of that.

[@majinphr3ak]

This definitely has an early slipknot feel to it.

[@LordSplittawig]

No, you're right in comparing Slaughter to Slipknot. As for me, I put it like this: the part of me that found satisfaction in Slipknot, that part of me continued along its journey on that progressive path, and then found Slaughter to Prevail. No, those two bands are not the same to me, not even close, but they are absolutely in the same vein of a sort. In other words, the part of me that was blown away when I came across Slipknot is the same part of me that's blown away by Alex and Slaughter. No, they are not the same or overly similar, but they absolutely inhabit the same realm.

[@mattpetty448]

I believe the bears name is Tom

[@tjombom]

I reckon it's right pointed how Slaughter to Prevail sounds like. Everything's based on someone's stuff which is based on as well and so on. You can see it as the development of those styles/genres; for example Metallica/Orbit Culture. The weapon you mentioned "suchka (сучка)" is actually literally translated "little bitch" 🤣

[@antoniott4947]

The name of the bear is Tom. Im serious

[@TheJoker-vi1wl]

The bear is called Tom

[@sportosp-0158]

You're correct! You win a "Blind Russian" mixed by me, Sporto. The downside is that you'd have to drink one with me too haha
