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.
