Russian deathcore titans Slaughter to Prevail are ready to make jaws drop once again. Their highly anticipated new album, Grizzly, is officially set to release on July 18 through Sumerian Records, and if the latest single “Russian Grizzly In America” is anything to go by, this record is going to be an absolute monster. The track launches alongside a high-octane music video featuring UFC heavyweight Alexander Volkov and a monstrous animatronic bear — pure chaos, pure metal.
Vocalist Alex Terrible has made his stance on the new album crystal clear:
“I think this is the best album we have ever written. We put so much effort into it. We spent a lot of time on every detail and really poured our souls into the songs. In the past, we were always rushing to finish albums and just releasing whatever we had. This time, we took our time, worked carefully on each track, and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. Hopefully it was all worth it.”
Slaughter to Prevail have become synonymous with unrelenting brutality and modern metal innovation. With over a million monthly Spotify listeners and a reputation for devastating live performances, the band is a force of nature. Whether it’s record-breaking walls of death at Hellfest or sold-out headliners, their live shows are nothing short of legendary.
Slaughter to Prevail’s origins are as raw and real as their sound. From Alex Terrible’s early vocal work in a frosty bedroom in Yekaterinburg, Russia, to guitarist Jack Simmons’ riff-crafting in Essex, England, what began as an online collaboration quickly grew into a worldwide phenomenon. Their rise started with viral YouTube covers of heavy hitters like SLIPKNOT, SUICIDE SILENCE, and LINKIN PARK, which led to a signing with Sumerian Records and the launch of a brutal musical legacy.
While Slaughter to Prevail conquers stages across the globe, Alex Terrible continues to dominate outside of music too — fresh off a 37-second knockout in Russia’s RCC Bare Knuckle, and training for a fight with Top Dog Bare Knuckle in May. Talks are even underway for his American debut in Bare Knuckle FC. Whether he’s brawling in the ring or blasting crowds with guttural growls, Alex thrives in the most unforgiving arenas.
Slaughter to Prevail’s 2025 calendar is already stacked with festival appearances across North America and Europe, including a new live production setup that’s promised to push their shows to another level — more intense, more immersive, and even more chaotic.
All roads lead to Grizzly, an album that showcases the band’s evolution while staying true to their raw roots. Featuring hard-hitting singles like “Conflict,” “Viking,” “1984,” “Behelit,” and “Kid Of Darkness”, this record doesn’t just growl — it bites. Their latest offering, “Russian Grizzly In America,” is already being hailed as an anthem of heavy metal mayhem, packed with savage grooves and beast-sized hooks.
