Slaughter To Prevail release their highly anticipated new single, "Behelit." This track marks a significant evolution in the band's sound, showcasing their most dynamic and eclectic work to date while staying true to their trademark heaviness and ferocity.The song is accompanied by a video with animation from acclaimed Manga series 'Beserk'.
Frontman Alex Terrible elaborates: "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. (continue)

Here is the story: "Purge(d) was a song that we completed fairly quickly. We wanted a short, heavy track that would display our love for metal and contain a memorable chorus hook.
I (Jon) had been listening to a lot to Spiritbox and Silent Planet's latest album; I was super impressed by how they had incorporated jarring, distorted synths in the production and wanted to try and include some of that flavour. Peter had been listening to recent Architects stuff and had been feeling inspired by their pop sensibilities. Some of their guitar tones had been inspiring me too so shoutout to architects!
