To promote the EP Behelit , Slaughter To Prevail released an animated music video for the title track.
The audiovisual production is based on the Japanese manga and anime series Berserk and presents fans with a new characteristic of the band, featuring orchestral instruments alongside vocalist Alex Terrible alternating between clean and harsh vocals.
The track “Behelit” represents a considerable sonic shift compared to the songs on the EP and throughout Slaughter To Prevail's career.
The band opted to follow the symphonic deathcore route — which has been winning over the new generation of the scene — in their music, a fact that divided the opinion of fans on social media.
"I don't like the new Slaughter To Prevail. They're probably experimenting with some things, but I still like songs like 'Conflict' and 'Viking Better' from this next era," declared one fan .
The EP was officially released on October 15th and contains three tracks, in addition to the single "Behelit": "Kid Of Darkness", "Conflict" and "Viking".
"One of the best songs of 2024. Those who know the Berserk manga and anime understood the Behelit . Amazing anime video," said another fan on X.
