Slaughter to Prevail have just unleashed the animated music video for their latest track, “Behelit,” and it’s a game changer. Frontman Alex Terrible surprises with clean (ish) vocals while the orchestration adds a whole new level of intensity. The track steps into the symphonic deathcore scene, creating an epic, mid-tempo anthem that carries the same epic vibe as Mein Herz Brennt by Rammstein, blending dark, atmospheric elements with raw power.
The music video takes inspiration from the Japanese manga Berserk, adding to the song’s cinematic quality. Slaughter to Prevail fans are in for a treat as the band continues to evolve their sound, pushing boundaries and delivering something truly epic.
Our own Jaimunji recently reacted to the video and was absolutely blown away by both the visuals and the sheer power of the track. Frontman Alex Terrible shared his personal connection with Berserk and its main character, Guts:
“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 honour 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.”
He also explained how his Kid of Darkness character is heavily influenced by Guts:
“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.”
“Behelit” showcases Slaughter to Prevail’s ability to continually raise the bar, blending brutality with epic, symphonic elements that leave a lasting impression.
