NEWS: Slaughter To Prevail unveil “Behelit”!

Variety maybe the spice of life but is it enough for you to want to remain in Arena having witnessed a set from Russian Deathcore brutes Slaughter To Prevail to watch Falling in Reverse and Hollywood Undead in December? If it is then you can witness all three bands on a pair of stops…

07.12 – Utilita Arena, Cardiff
08.12 – Wembley Arena, London

While you think about that one, the band born of the writing partnership between Russian vocalist Alex Terrible and UK guitarist Jack Simmons have shared a brand new single in “Behelit” which is being touted as an evolution into Extreme Metal that is both their most dynamic and eclectic work to date while staying true to their trademark heaviness and ferocity. We’ll let you be the judge, jury and executor on that one…

Frontman Alex Terrible comments: “I don’t usually watch anime, it’s not for me, but ‘Berserk’ is different. Guts, the main character, he is not like any other warrior. His determination to become the strongest fighter—this is something to respect. But what really gets to me is how he is shown—ruthless, unstoppable, yet with some hidden vulnerability, like you never know what he will do next. Guts is not just fighting enemies; he is battling demons from another world, trying to save humanity from things beyond understanding. What’s interesting is, he doesn’t think of himself as a hero—many times, it seems like he even hates the responsibility of protecting others. But still, his honor makes him continue, driven by something much deeper than just glory. His huge sword is like a symbol of his strength—it’s almost like a metaphor for life. We all have our burdens to carry, and it’s on us to deal with them the best way we can.”

“Actually, my Kid of Darkness character, I take a lot from Guts. There is something very strong, very real in how Guts fights, and I want to show this. Kid of Darkness, it is not only about being brutal—it is about fight inside, like you carry heavy things you never ask for, but still you face them. Guts, he never gives up, even when everything around him is bad, this is what I feel close to. This way of thinking, it is what I try to do in my life, on stage and not on stage too.”
