I took my 5 year old son to see Slaughter to Prevail on Nov. 2 and it was fucking insane. It was my sons first live show. He is hooked on Alex’s voice. Alex is like a hero to my son. I even got him passes to meet the band. I had tears in my eyes watching my boy rock the fuck out that night. Such a proud hardcore dad moment. Definitely one of my favorite bands to blow up in a long time. My son was mind blown watching the pit. As we left the show he looked up at me thanking me for taking him and he was asking when we could see them agin

[@De4thage]

The algorithmic structure of the STP songs is interesting, yes, it is complicated, especially for the Russian ear, but for the English-speaking listener it even comes in very well. Their bright song is "You only", for some reason it is not performed at concerts. It is fucking awesome.

That video of him checking on a girl hurt in the circle pit was so mf sweet

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

He's such a cool dude. I love watching him interact with fans. seems that people ages 8 to 50+ years of age are fans of Slaughter. rightfully so. Alex is a great guy from what I can tell

The chorus is probably my fav from them, it's so good.

[@TankTheTech]

Same here. It's HUGE.

[@ericfoxprime]

This is wonderful!

[@climbscience4813]

Absolutely! Especially the mixture of different vocals in the "I am from the same flesh" hits so freaking hard!

[@thediamndjvck]

It kinda speaks to me as well, yk? To me, Alex is saying no matter how vocally animalistic he is, he is still a human being at the end of the day. And that chorus pretty much explains it. Fucking deep shit man

[@CAlberto08]

The chorus goes so hard

[@DenyThisFlesh]

I think this is their best song. With how great this and 1984 both were, I can't wait to hear the next album

[@cile5459]

1984, my fav song by them up until they dropped Viking, will actually not be on the album at all lmao. Nuts

[@TankTheTech]

Yeah, I'm really loving the more groove and slamming parts they're coming up with in their new stuff and I hope they keep going in that direction.

[@TheFlagnard2]

They are just a different breed, man. Slaughter has such a brutal sound. Like, Lorna Shore is also brutal, but they incorporate so much orchestra and melodic stuff into their songs that it doesn't feel the same. These two bands are at the top of the scene, but both bring a unique style within the genre that is all their own.

[@victoriamartines5030]

Every time I listen to StP, I'm feeling happy and so pumped that wrestling a bear would be only a warm up for me. Viking is the next natural step in their evolution as musicians. All I can hope is for StP to remain as genuine and humble as they are now and not succumb to the mainstream celeb behavior. I'm certain their down to earth, Russian chads demeanor is what the fans love the most. Their talent and raw energy are only the icing on the cake. Awesome reaction, Tank. Cheers!

[@Robert_Herring]

This sounds massive. Fantastically brutal.

[@petervandespanden1965]

What strikes me the most is as much as their music is in your face is how they respond to the fans . No agression just the gentle giant as it should be. That is how it should be always. That is probably what i like about them far more than anything else.

[@YelenaSkunky]

They seem to be really great people in general.

[@canadiancanucklehead8310]

I prefer the term “Gentle juggernaut” lol

[@jeefuji]

Discovered Alex pretty long ago actually (~10y ago), seen him posting covers on KZbin, and I was already really impressed by his talent, and told myself "I cannot wait to see him acquire some experience & go pro, it would be nuts" until he went a bit under my radar. Well, now that I rediscover him, for once, I wasn't wrong: this is nuts.

[@VulgrDisplay]

Slaughter is like it you gave Iowa era Slipknot steroids and meth. Evgeny is one of the most musical metal drummers I have had the pleasure of listening to. Love their music.

[@TankTheTech]

100% agree with that comparison.

[@NewfieGuy-hw3tj]

I mean. Some of the slipknot guys were on meth during Iowa lol

[@haydenkinley5266]

This might be the most guitar-driven track by them to date, at least from what I've heard, usually all of my attention is occupied by Alex monstrous singing and Jenya's pounding drums, but here the entire track feels much more cohesive and evenly spread out, I can't get enough of it. I'm very happy that these guys are doing well. Edit: I also got a bit emotional on the first listen, most of them are my fellow countrymen and the anger Alex exudes is palpable.

I saw them live in April in Florida. As someone who has seen many a metal concert. Theirs was by far and away the most energetic and best concert I’ve ever been to. When I saw them, there was no opening act. It was just them, for 3 hours straight. Belting out all of their songs including this one. I drove 10 hours to see them and it was all well worth it

[@Poepopdestoep]

3 hours! Goddamn!

I took my 15yr old son to see them for his very first concert. I've seen a lot of shows and this was by far the best show I've ever seen. Small venue so we were almost right up front.

Having seen them on one of their early US tours in like 2018, and having briefly met Alex, it makes me so happy to see them get this attention. Absolutely deserved. Alex is a monster on stage, and the kindest guy off stage. They had a fill-in guitarist at this point of the tour, and he said all Alex does is sleep and eat McDonald’s on tour 😂

[@larryisazombie6454]

What I love about this song and a lot of current metal is that it’s 1) brutal but somehow still full of catchy melody. And 2) has a groove pocket. Reminds me of early nu metal and how they just had that hip hop groove pocket alongside the heavier music. Not calling this nu metal, don’t get me wrong haha. This just has a groove and melody to it despite literally no cleans.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

There are clean vocals in there but they are done in a very understated and tasteful way. Yes, I absolutely said that about a Slaughter to Prevail vocal part. He posted a one take of the vocal today and you can hear the clean parts especially in the chorus section. Its not really straight clean vocals but more the harsh vocal with little clean flourishes peppered in on certain syllables and words. It's really interesting and does a LOT for the song

[@resention8230]

Man, I like a lot of reactors, but Tank, you are the only one I genuinely look forward to. Your energy is infectious, your knowledge of the field is impressive, and watching you get hyped up for these insane bands is just so much fucking fun. So glad you checked this song out!

Seeing Alex in live videos, and seeing his posts on different reaction videos, it is clear to me... He is a freaking beast with the voice of a demon, but he is more human than most "stars" from the music industry. I saw a live video, where a fan went down in the pit, he stopped the music to make sure she was okay, and even jumped down to hug her, after she got up. I don't know him at all, but I think he is a really nice person. And yeah the song is absolute killer! 🤘

This song has such a catchy groove while being brutally heavy at the same time. I love how they sprinkled in the fan interaction clips too. You're right about Alex's projection being wild also. At the St Louis show he apologized for being sick and losing his voice, then proceeded to scream the part from this song and Demolisher without the mic.

[@alexgrabienski4185]

Slaughter to prevail became one of my favorites thanks to this channel. Again I have to say, the way you present songs and bands are great. Like "Take a minute, give it some extra attention and then lets talk about what we just enjoyed and THEN! make your opinion on the song and band". And as you said once, sometimes it takes some time to find in to a band. Like with Sabaton, they are around in my life thanks to my friends since 13 years but I first started to listen to them since I follow your channel. But like you said over Babymetal, sometimes it needs some time until its enjoyable. So, thanks for your work/service and to this song: something with death and destruction ... YEAAAAAAAAH!!!

[@brianesposito2124]

Tank ..brother.. i see you getting emotional..i share that same feeling. Thank you for being genuine and metal as fuck..🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@TheWarriorXander]

I can completely understand your feelings on this one Tank, it's an incredible song, and every time the music quiets down and Alex's vocals go over the top, I get such intense chills the hairs on my arms and neck stand straight up. I mean EVERY time, I've played this video multiple times a day every day since it's release, and still get that extreme of a reaction, I absolutely love it. Also, the hair thing will take a long time to get used to, I had hair down to my lower back for 10+ years, and 3 years ago finally got sick of it and cut it off, I still get the "phantom limb" reaction on occasion.

[@ekjyotsingh7206]

Saw them live in toronto early last month. Craziest live experience for me - the crowd, the energy, the no mic moments. When Nik came on, his voice was barely audible and he also later explained in a video how Alex is so loud so his mic is tuned lower lol. Also saw them live on Nik's stream and a couple things Alex mentioned - 1984 would be a standalone song, won't be on the new album For the sound, he said they just wanted to sound like Slipknot on steroids for this song and some of the other music on the new album This song has been in tank for over half a year now, so yeah we can expect the album in the first quarter of 2024

[@AzimovTheMad]

First off- I just shaved my beard off after two years, Ive been bald for years but I sort of understand the shock that comes with no longer having it to mess with. Second- and most importantly; thank you for showing the sort of vulnerability and love you have for music. I tear up watching the video still after several watches.😅 Music is such an incredible escape for so many people, and I feel like a lot of us feel alone when we have to go there to get away, but for a minute there, I was there with you enjoying this, and thats the best I've felt in a long time.
