The boxes were hilarious. Great song, as always. Funny reaction, loved it.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

oh and its not like Tank the Tech asked me to do that I did it cause he is a great guy and I knew he would laugh when he saw me put pop boxes

[@darthshrek1]

@@OldSkuleNerd I think your reaction would be hilarious for him to react to. Just an idea to float out there.

I like the Tank the Tech refference

[@Bezymnick]

the song actually has a very deep meaning. it says what foreigners think of Russia. Many stereotypes are built. These stereotypes are shown in the video. In fact, we are a very kind and friendly people.

thought it was about baba yaga? the witch

[@tuckerrichardson2606]

@@TheJoker-vi1wl but whats the tank gotta do with that? Lol maybe they're using baba yaga as a representation of all the negative shit.. or its just a badass metal song

[@TheJoker-vi1wl]

many of you are. have been on a russian wedding (hangover took four days). from outsiders perspective, your asshats are just a bit different than ours. veeeery different.

I love Alex, I can't wait for him to come back to the states. I will wear the mask proud at the concert

[@Fireoncityy]

Could tell from your photo haha🤘🤘

[@Sk0tnes]

I have the mask myself! its awesome, and good quality . But I'm to afraid to use it on a concert, Im gonna loose it in a wall of death

[@Acheron666]

The behind the scenes making of this video is awesome……..The bear in the video is 100% real. I love the ending of this song…..That melodic riff.

[@TheRockhound119]

That was my first time listening to Baba Yaga, definitely over the top lol

[@nathanstautzenberger8381]

this is the first time I've ever seen slaughter to prevail, but those masks are badass

[@UltimateGamerCC]

they do some very heavy stuff, and yeah those Masks ARE awesome, you can buy White ones but i think the Gold ones may be reserved for Alex and his Bandmates. either way you should hit up Alex Terrible's youtube channel, he does covers for shits and giggles, he has a good sense of humor.

little hint: Evgeny doesn't use the swivel technique on kickdrum, at least not that I have seen. He uses heel-toe-technique for fast double kick work.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Alex has quite good cleans. Check out his cover of SOAD's "Lonely Day" for a bit at the end.

Cool Song. Needed some blood and guts this morning with my coffee...lol. Seriously though great reaction, love the breakdown on the drum shoes and the slick pedal and loved the vocal switch up. Love the pop up boxes referencing Tank the Tech which was funny. Overall great job as always and keep up the amazing work brother.

[@Emil_Stoltz]

BABA YAGAAA! AAAAAAH!!!

[@алексейкоршунков-д4ж]

Great reaction!! Thank you for that! Watching this video I realized that I totally forgot to Wax my tank and to feed my roommate - bear. Best regard from Russia! \m/

[@brittjannesath2539]

Bear backup singer 😂 Heavy and awsome. Tank boxes, loved that 😀👍

[@LangeloScuro]

I saw Baba Yaga in my notifications and all I could think of was your last D&D session.

[@schakTheNerd]

Just found you. Hands down one of my favorite STP tracks. And the video is intentionally the most "Russian" thing ever made. Amazing visualization of an amazing song. Great reaction.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

firstly, nice Tank reference man, secondly i FUCKING LOVE this track! i can put this on repeat for hours, the chorus is so reminiscent of Slipknot it's a great change up and just makes his guttural sounds even better because he's mixing it up. i love Demolisher but after one listen i have to go destroy things in video games. XD

[@TheHobbes666]

I think the cleans work. Reminds me a lot of Iowa era of Slipknot. For me they have enough effects on them to fit in to chorus

[@anthonyheffernan5537]

the kick drum technique you're talking about is the "swivel" technique.. its a very natural feeling when trying to play that fast, and when you can manipulate it and control it... its very efficient =)

[@darkspawn6214]

[@darrellbeam8053]

Glad to see you sticking with it!

[@oldbeardedcajun5010]

I swear the first time i read the title of the video it said Baby Yoda, man I was disappointed. NO BABY YODA!!!!! Then again, after watching the video till the end, kinda glad he wasn't in the video. The band must be getting low on body parts, cause the foot is the last thing that would be eaten.

[@justdave9610]

I'd probably not want to eat a foot either but there are some people that have a thing for feet 😂

[@Ardizel]

Yes the bear is his pet. And I love it 🤘🐻🤘

[@UltimateGamerCC]

lol that's cool, any idea to the Bear's name?

[@kylew6635]

[@tomyrizzo]

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.

[@jasonscreationsunlimited4161]

Ah yes! This is what I need today! I was wondering if this channel went into a "what the hell Wednesday" funk after those Eskimo Call out boy vids last week 🤦‍♂️. This song definitely shook that funk off. If anyone can cut in line in front of my Straightline Stitch request, Alex Terrible can😉. Those are not prosthetics, the body parts were donated by Vladimir Putin, body parts of his enemies 🤫. Also, I've seen lots of reactions to this video, and EVERYONE is missing the part where when Alex is wrestling the bear, that Iwrestledabearonce sounds are coming from the guitar during that part. Coincidence?🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Abradbrown]

You killed me with the tank the tech reference I almost fell out my chair laughing 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Cha0sRising90]

The bear is the groupie! Heard there was a band that roared and growled like its ancestors and wanted to pay homage.

[@Ginosphere]

Don't know if someone else talk about it but the foot technique is Heal/toe if you still search the name.

[@Wollestar]

But I think he was talking about swivel technique. Even though the STP drummer uses, as you said, heel toe. I know that Krimh uses baby powder on his pedals, so his shoes glide better for the swivel technique.

[@barbados1267]

The bass drum technique is called heel toe you don’t need a smooth board to do it if anything I think it’s easier with grip because there’s no sliding it’s hitting with your heel and then piveting your front of the foot to snap forward causing 2 hits in one stroke instead of one basically

[@Kratos_Theos]

Lol the intro was so cool!

[@zemlia88]

Super late reply, but the drumming technique is heel-toe. You use your heel and as you lift your foot up your toe hits it again before the other foot. Super cool and easy to learn, just takes practice but it's crazy how fast people can get their kicks.

[@MagnetHero]

The info box is great xD Can I also call out that the chromed out demon masks are SWEEEEEEEET! I'd gladly have one :) Edit: Leaving because showing that I am ignorant and did not know those masks were a thing of Slaughter to Prevail. Freaking awesome.

[@justdave9610]

No need to feel ignorant or embarrassed of not knowing about the masks. They are really cool though and idk what the prices are but they have a mask store site you can buy them from

[@imtriplydead]

Go check their website, the price is $90.00 - $160.00 . The different of colors is what the price is gonna be

[@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
