Sounds like it’s inspired by the War in Ukraine judging by how it’s mentioned

I'm with you a hundred percent. I'm originally from Chechnya and lost my entire family to Russian aggression. I'm planning on going to Ukraine Sept 15th to fight with Ukraine. I spent 16yrs in united states'military and believe in fighting for the Ukraine.

The song is great, but I've never thought that the Slaughter to Prevail's song can make me emotional. As a russian the lyrics hit me hard, I no doubt share the emotions, sadness with anger, that Alex is providing here. It's not only a single, a new song, it's a statement and it's great!

[@Papi_SpringRoll]

3:14 My exact reaction when I first heard it, it then immediately became my favorite Slaughter song.

[@dekkan_0771]

I’m not a deathcore fan, but Slaughter to Prevail is just different feeling, they’re music so far is so good , I don’t know if they’re considered deathcore, but either way I’m a huge fan of them.

[@waiz0231]

First EP is deathcore Misery sermon album is deathcore Kostolom is "new" deathcore

[@Feuermiss1405]

They're almost the only "screaming" and "growling" metal I have on my playlist. Not the only only, but disproportionately represented. Baba Yaga was sooooo good

[@phanaticz]

This song isn't Deathcore at all. It's more nu-metal - think Slipknot.

[@TYLERtheMAGGOT1]

They blend in stuff from death metal, black metal and nu metal but also maintaining the roots of deathcore. That's how I describe it.

[@mementomori2839]

Yeah they're deathcore but this newest album is pretty versatile as far as they go. It has alot more nu-metal influence than anything else they have done. It also has alot of two step rhythms as opposed to their older stuff so its more hardcore leaning. Nu-metal/hardcore tinged deathcore. But yes, deathcore. Usually here I'd list some bands that compare to them but this new stuff is pretty unique. Maybe check out Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza or Despised Icon, possibly even old As Blood Runs Black for hardcore-leaning deathcore. It's somewhat similar.

[@petemartyn]

The undeniable power and awesomeness of the track is overshadowed for me by both the lyrics and the raw emotion Alex brings to the lyrics. This belongs in the pantheon of top-tier anti-war metal tracks and it's incredible to behold.

[@colemcdaniel2537]

This track is amazing. It makes me want more. Give me more Slaughter To Prevail!!!!

A Legend reacting to Legends. The only thing that I'm going to say is brace yourself. See you tomorrow for the reaction. 🤘😱

dude, your reaction is so sincere that I just enjoyed it with you, and by the way, you are the first person who said Baba Yaga with the right accent as it should sound in Russian - and it's so damn nice that people who really love music not only listen to it, but also developing + we Russian people have been listening to your music for as long as we can remember. so enjoy and good luck!!!

If I'm not mistaken there's a video here on KZbin where Jack Simmons talks about him not physically being in the band and he said it's because of visa issues and now due to the war that probably has something to do with it as well

[@bryceyeah9589]

I always love how about a year ago I would see Alex comment on many of my favourite music reactions. It always made me feel closer to the band and feel a taste of how he must of felt when he saw reactors checking out his shit. This is the symbiosis of reactors and bands, and I’m not sure that there is a better band than Slaughter to really capture this. Love, love, love this.

[@Nightwishmaster]

As much as I love the band, the way Alex is so interactive with the fans, including watching and commenting on the reactions is what really sealed the deal for me. I love how much he appreciates fans and how much he loves seeing people reacting to and enjoying their music. When he posted that video about Kostolom being #1 on Spotify and all the other music platforms and talked about how being in a band has been his "big fucking dream" since he was 15 years old and how grateful he is to all the fans for everything really hit me how different he is. More bands should take note of the way Alex interacts with the fanbase, Slaughter is big enough that he doesn't have to do any of that, nobody would expect him to but the fact that he still does I think is incredible.

[@andyplatt9464]

Love all your metal reactions! If you want to see a band who are normally afternoon or early evening performers around the festivals and are amazing live check out British metal band Skindred. Their front man Benji Webb can work a crowd to a frenzy with a brilliant fusion of brutal metal and reggae and a load of banter. Check out their performance of 'Warning' from Resurrection Fest 2015 (you might want to put up a language warning). They're a completely different thing from Nightwish but I love them both!

Great reaction. I got up for 7 am (UK time) to do a reaction to this and get it online before i went to work. It was totally worth it as it was already out for an hour and some reactions were already online. So i think it's great you get it early, which is what i tried to do as much as i can.

[@tomiyu2297]

I have to agree with your statement of Evgeny's drum playing. I've not heard anything like his bell-work, he definitely has his own style. Also on the vocal style of Alex, I can definitely see it. He's growing with every album and I dig it so much.

[@Swifthammer]

Couldn't agree more with your comments on Alex's vocals. His raw power on the gutturals is amazing, but him bringing out everything he's got in the toolbox is really great to hear.

[@travisloader3446]

Hey just wanted to say hi. And that I just discovered your channel. And I'm loving it. How honest you are and talking about all the behind the scenes things with live shows and all. I was in a little nothing band in Utah for a few years and went nowhere.lol but did see a lot of the way things work and how hard it is just to put on a show. Even a very small one in a little shitty bar. Can't even imagine all that goes on with big bands. I have the highest respect for the crews that take care of all this. The bands really couldn't do it without people like you. And we were so poor that we didn't have any crew whatsoever or all the tech that could help us do a better show. If we did we would have 100 percent taken advantage of that. Because with us having to set everything up and check everything and do our own sound checks with no crew to help. So by the time we went on for our small 20 min or so set we were so drained that we couldn't really put in the show we wanted to. So of course we went nowhere. So just wanted to say hi and thank you and all crew members for bands. They are so underappreciated. I've been to hundreds of shows clear back since 81 when I was 10. And have always realized it's the crew that does the hard work. To put on a night that the fans get to get away from their daily lives and just get lost in the music. Sorry for the long comment. But I'm just loving your channel and your knowledge and honesty. Thanks. Keep it up!!!

Comparing this band to Slipknot is a huge disservice to them. I think of it more as the band that would eat Corey Taylor for breakfast and have his unwarranted ego for dessert. They keep getting all these great drummers that are overqualified to be in their juvenile band and canning them. Meanwhile, Alex is super freakin humble and chill. Notice how Alex is the one guy where you never hear "what Corey thinks" about him haha
