Slaughter To Prevail Just Evolved Their Sound... AGAIN

[@TankTheTech]

Since filming this reaction, I have finished the entire Berserk (1997) anime, am halfway through watching The Golden Age Trilogy (Memorial Edition), and have started reading the manga... And all I can say is... WOW. I can't believe I didn't get into this sooner.

[@nikolai6361]

i'd love an update video with your thoughts on Berserk

[@xDetroitMetalx]

Yeah... Read the manga. The Black Swordsman and the Golden Age Arc are only at 1/8 of the story and not even the best parts. The anime versions also skip a lot of character development and some fairly large chunks of the story originally written in the manga.

[@bolillo5013]

I bought the first chapter of the manga and it was great; should I finish it?

[@tiffy3260]

According to my husband, the manga is the best. The anime was far from the greatness of the manga..just his opinion lol

[@xDetroitMetalx]

@bolillo5013 yes!

[@OurLordNubert]

Fun fact: the orchestration in this song was done by the pianist and orchestra composer for Fleshgod Apocalypse (a god teir band) Francesco Ferrini :)

[@TankTheTech]

Dude that guy gets around a lot. 😂 But that speaks a lot to how good he is.

[@Pygmyer]

He also helps out Chris Wiseman to polish up the orchestra for Shadow of intent. Incredibly talented guy :)

[@TheNerdySportsGuy]

That's awesome

[@uniservicemann3186]

​@Pygmyer and helped Ice Nine Kills with their recent song A Work of Art

[@INDRIDCOLD83]

Sounds like it was completely ripped off from the movie requiem for a dream, who rammstein ripped it off for Mein Herz Brennt who now slaughter to prevail ripped it off.

[@The_Lunatic_Fringe89]

Wait a minute . . . your daughter is 3 years old already? Dude I remember when you announced that she was born. That can't be right lol.

[@TankTheTech]

Almost 4, actually. Hahaha

[@NxsRuin]

Slaughter To Prevail are definitely going places and we're all lucky to be along for the ride.

[@johnc.hammersticks]

The look on guts face while he rips off his bandages crying tears of blood and screaming breaks my heart everytime, he has nothing but trouble since he was found as a baby. STP did an amazing job on this. I've started reading it now.

[@shadowfire6117]

I forgot this song was about berserk and I thought it was about Alex’s dog, and I was really concerned lol

[@johnc.hammersticks]

@shadowfire6117 now I know why he named him guts. Alex could be his own character in the berserk universe. Alex and guts just go and kill the Godhand once and for all and Alex's scream could destroy the behelit and the godhand.

[@ginjabear6664]

Best manga ever

My daughter's jiu jitsu instructor blasts the Slaughter to Prevail in the gym when he does his personal workout early in the day.

[@amandag1337]

I love that they keep evolving. I'm never disappointed.

[@The0nlyy]

Or “Devolving” and steadily becoming more mainstream..

[@amandag1337]

@@The0nlyy becoming more popular doesn't necessarily mean devolving

[@tho_she_be_but_litl]

I'm loving the cross-genre trend that's going on right now. We listeners are fortunate that it seems to be opening up huge creativity doors for artists.

[@eb4052]

Definitely agree

[@lightningmonky7674]

That's why modern music is some of my favorite ever made

[@bigred738]

They have a wider audience than most people would probably expect. I saw a few Slaughter to Prevail shirts at the Evanescence show in Edmonton on Sunday.

[@VladMetal26]

9:34 - Didn't expect to see Dr. Mike on this channel lol)

[@TankTheTech]

I love Dr. Mike. Hahaha

[@Imurbfg]

He is omnipresent, especially near elementary schools.

[@dapaintbrush6965]

Slaughter are just to good man. This is my favourite song from Slaughter. Everything about it is top tier in My book. Such a catchy chorus to. Love the reaction ❤️❤️🔥🔥 also such a chunky riff to

[@crayzeewhorse]

That speaking bit at the start is fuckin cringe as fuck

[@cphine]

I was never a big STP fan, but I could get into this. The symphonics just add so much depth to the sound.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Slaughter To Prevail has been my favorite modern metal band for a while now. And it continues.

[@Capthowdy098]

I am on board with you there! Feels like the band I have been looking for since, before they existed.

[@ireactionl]

Lol

[@bloodstripe20]

I really love this song and it just shows the talent of this band

[@alexelrod242]

Alex's cleans in this remind of in flames "the quiet place" era

[@luiso.1154]

This song runs every time since it dropped some days ago. I very like this song because of the symphoniecs too. And i really waited for your reaction to it.

[@thomashellemans1333]

Always thought i was the only one tearing up and getting emotional to heavy ass songs, guss not! Hell yeah brother!

[@freakgoingunder]

Thank you for being honest about your emotional reaction and that you aren't afraid to show it actually affecting you. We need more male role models like you Tank.

[@aKhemu]

When I listened to it at the release, I couldn't believe my ears. This song is incredible, and holy shit I've never like heard vocals like in this chorus. I liked slaughter before, but now I'm a fan, not only because of this song but because of the stylistic range they have.

[@Anuta6675]

Mein Herz Brennt! Yes! I've been racking my brain, what it reminds me of! Well, Alex is a Rammstein fan.

[@haemmertime]

Some clean sections also reminded me of 2010ish In Flames

[@INDRIDCOLD83]

Rammstein influence? This was stolen from the movie Requiem for a Dream which was released in October of the year 2000. Mein Herz Brennt (the song where everyone thinks its from) came from the studio album "Mutter" which was released in 2001.

Thaaaanks Tank!! ❤ Alex cleans are great, he's becoming such an incredible vocalist ❤

[@Netninja543]

I love how enthusiastic Tank's daughter is for Slaughter, and inevitably heavy music.

[@FreakBob_YT]

Im seeing them in knotfest in Australia next year i NEED them to play this

[@joyjoyz778]

Ohhhh he performed this at sick new world this year. So glad it's officially out. It sounded amazing live

[@derdiedaswasndas]

ma man tank ur reaction are always one the top ones keep it up

[@dstarzfn]

When I first heard this the first band to pop in my head was Septicflesh.

[@Audard]

Sounds like Alex is proving to all the haters that he isnt a one trick pony. Sounds gnarly.

[@simonriches77]

I absolutely love this song. Never really listened to Slaughter to Prevail before. After listening to this I will definitely listen to more of their music This was epic.

[@repairshop22]

Wow...i finally got down with a slaughter to prevail song after all these years

[@anastasiaftw5454]

Berserk is so good! Can't wait for the reaction video lol

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

#1 song of 2024. I’ve never watched the anime either but now I want to. What a HUGE track for Slaughter to Prevail. That riff is heavy af.

[@justinbisig4760]

New favorite Slaughter song. If this is the evolution, I’m here for it

[@Mch-fy3wr]

Man, I was waiting for your reaction! Berserk just got new fans!

[@TheAston316]

i have this song on repeat. Its a banger. Someone in boxing, Wrestling or MMA needs to use this as an entrance song

[@cloudstrife783]

These guys never fail to surprise me. I can't help but love everything they're putting out right now. Such a refreshing thing for deathcore.

[@LoneWolf-479]

I like the version they played @ Sick New World back in April. They've been playing this live for 6 months. The chorus has changed quiet a bit tho

[@bigrich6075]

Alex Terrible never disappoints

[@darrenhill3514]

I can't wait to watch them play this song live.

[@d4v1dd]

There are so many good things happening in this song! Love ittttttttttt!

[@UltimateGamerCC]

my favorite from STP to-date, even including the stuff Alex covers for fun. absolutely amazing tribute to Berserk and the Mangaka who sadly isnt here with us today.

[@TheKiza02]

Yeah this is definitely showing they're still consistently maturing as artists, fucking great to see!

[@tadhggoreyoneill13666]

It was Francesco Ferrini of Fleshgod Apocalypse who did the Symphonic/Orchestral elements of this song

[@Der_Dore]

i like the video and yes, i also had to think of Rammstein when the strings came on. I was pleasantly surprised.

[@jhamilton1007]

Or a heavier Starset

[@erikpippenger7537]

I think the love for both bmth and slipknot has become a bigger and bigger influence on Alex and it shows in how much variety he’s been producing with slaughter. I love it all and I’m happy this band is blowing up.

[@stevewade4190]

Oh dang! That’s probably the best song from these dudes yet!

[@TheAssain13]

Ngl, the first few times I heard this song i had no idea it was slaughter. It was on my Spotify Playlist and I just jammed to it while I was driving until one day I was sitting at a red light and decided to look at who it was and I was blown away. Best song I've heard in a few years and it will never get old

[@Bandit44862]

Dude. Imagine Slaughter to prevail going full classic on a video and performing this song live with an orchestra behind em like bands used to do 😂😂😂 not goina happen, but would be epic lol. I 100% agree with you. Watching this band’s growth and progression has been a super fun, super awesome experience.

[@_Arugula_Salad_]

Like the Devin Townsend Project. Why couldn't it happen?

[@dorisg.3]

I totally agree with you...👍❤️‍🔥🤘💋💥

Your daughter wearing the Slaughter mask is the most adorable thing ever. If she wears that to costume day at school, she'll have the best Halloween outfit ever

[@alexandrehenri-bhargava2741]

Hearing this played for the first time live at SNW last year was something else. Short set but they packed it in! I moshed against a couple guys in Teletubby suits during this song. One of my best concert memories

[@memepapi]

That was dope

[@samcrorie]

Ive liked pretty much everything ive heard from STP but this is a masterpiece. My son was recommending the manga. Im definitely going to check it out.

[@Hyperoptix]

Just be ready to see and read some really vile things. Manga has some of the darkest themes and story elements out of fiction ever. It's beautifully sad and gross and happy and angering and all of that.

[@JordanEmede_376]

Their best song head and shoulders above. My daughters almost 4 and she likes saosin and Paleface in the car i always oblige.

[@D1X0N4]

Remember hearing this for the first time at Sick New World it was fantastic!

[@anthonyfuller1117]

Awesome reaction!!!

[@colby722]

I went to one of those shows this summer with manson and FFDP. Slaughter seemed to have just as many fans as Mason did which I thought was insane. Once in a lifetime experience it was fantastic

[@MissFroglover]

Wow! That was fire! 😀🤘 Loved it and I also was surprised about the symphonic part. Never been in to to STP that much this might have won me over 😁 About Ingrid, what have you created 😅😉💕

[@TheIslandDivision]

TankTheDad! Showing the way.

[@Herrakeke]

Alex said on his instagram that they mixed rammstein and berserk! yeah definently can hear the rammstein in this one🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@GoddaryuTUBE]

I legit have had the entire berserk collection on dvd for like a decade and still havent gotten around to watching any of it

[@NJD1997]

my 2-year-old son has been a massive fan of STP since he was one!

[@Kekoapono]

Another great deathcore band we should all pay a lot of attention to is Disembodied Tyrant. Blake Mullens is a deathcore savant, and I'm very much looking forward to how the band will continue to evolve now that Blake has other musicians in the band to bounce ideas off of. I'm kind of surprised that you haven't yet featured the band on your channel, or at least that I'm aware of. Anyway, yes, I think Disembodied Tyrant easily belongs among the other great deathcore bands.

[@tulip666trap]

just ultimately really dope music🔥

[@jamesmcfarland6754]

Said a lot of the same things… the evolution is amazing. This is such a sick song and the chorus was such a nice surprise

[@Sauron227]

Glad I’m not the only one with a toddler that loves Alex. My 2 going in 3 year old loved Alex’s doom videos lol when he was a little older the 1 year lol.

[@francescov.3610]

Why not start your kids on a band that's more accessible, like Ozzy, Van Halen, or Iron Maiden?

[@The_KlaVra]

I must say. This truly felt different. The only thing the verses sound a lot like the slaughter to prevail that you know, but, the symphonic, the chorus, the breakdown being kinda different. Bravo slaughter to prevail, you shut me up after saying all the latest single being samey. This is truly different.

[@RickReasonnz]

Wholesome AF that your kid is so in to a heavy band!

[@anthonyerickson2198]

Fucking STELLAR!!!! an awesome new side from Alex. On 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lakabaka]

Kind of mindblowing that STP, Brand of Sacrifice & Beast in Black all make songs about Berserk .

I wish this song were out when they were with Manson and FFDP because I went to see that show specifically for Slaughter to Prevail and had so much fun T_T

[@shawnstarck826]

The flick gets real emotional

[@PaulsRuza]

Just before you commented about Rammstein, I was thinking that it reminds of them and the symphonic backing is probably what I liked a lot in there. And then you say it..

[@wearenotyourkind1990]

Mein Herz Brennt was the direct influence for this song. Greetings from Germany. 😁

[@Hardley_Normal]

This track is just a massive step up and I’m all about it this is the best sounding track they have made they also use the brand of sacrifice logo in the movie brightburn the anti super hero horror movie I highly rate it 💪💪💪

[@ReaktionæreDennis]

I think it sounds like they saw Gojira's Olympic performance (which also had those 'bursts' of symphonics). Sounds dope. I'm not a fan of the band, but if they continue in this direction, I might become one 🤷🤘

[@DorenEl-d7y]

Reminds me of mein herz brent as well, which might make this my new play o loop song (mein herz brent is my favourite song ever). and I'm not even a slaughter to prevail fan. i know like 2 songs.

[@shivnz]

Never really been interested in StP.. but now, they have my attention...this was really good

Yeah same! Love this evolution.

Im looking at this music video as we speak in my recommended, it has 666k views. yup checks out

[@graphsicimagevinyls5882]

STP is starting to show influences of who they have been hanging/touring with and im here for all of it - im sure Ronnie from FIR had some influence as well. the new song has a slight Dimmu/Emperor/other symphonic DM bands feel, but done in the Slaughter way. overall this song is truly epic on another level from anything they have previously done, cant wait to hear the new stuff going forward.

[@kyokoyumi]

Damn what a tribute holy shit.

[@Flying_Lexus]

They've been playing Behelit in live shows for quite a while now. By the way, this song was inspired by Rammstein. Alex spoke about it in an interview.

Symphonic Core? I also heard some Ramstein influence for sure. Maybe even some classical too that "bum bum-up-a-bum" in the background score is very familiar. I am at 9:05 though it is throughout the song, but I know that sound.

[@AnimetalViking]

This song only hits a lot harder if you know the story and the context behind the scenes in the AMV. Such a fitting song for the series. I think it's high time we get a collaboration with Brand Of Sacrifice.

I love how a video for DR Mike shows up at the end😂😂

[@Cr0wsMurd3r]

Berserk was the first anime I watched well over 20 years ago now. There's a couple of "remakes" of that particular arc of the story... The "Golden Age" Trilogy looks good(art) and covers most of that bit of the story in around three hours total. There was a later more recent anime for the period after that arc that was not that well received, due to being CGI animation, story is still there though. Manga is super good though... not for the kiddies. Berserk is dark fantasy, proper dark... and Golden Age Arc is the "nicer" part of the story. Not heard this song yet, but I am guessing its "Behelit" (Egg of the King) that I've seen floating around.

[@NicholasCorvin]

*I don't know, my first thought was SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL collaborated once more with Michael Leo Valeri [ LeadGuitarist, Songwriter/Composer and Producer of the (also) "BERSERK"-influenced Canadian Deathcore band BRAND OF SACRIFICE ] . Valeri was the one, who did the Afterproduction for the song "Baba Yaga".* ⬅ 🤔🎸🥁🎸🎻🎵💿🔊🔥
