Slaughter to Prevail have dropped their new single “Behelit,” which is accompanied by a video with animation from the acclaimed Manga series Beserk.

Says frontman Alex Terrible: “I don’t usually watch anime, it’s not for me, but Berserk is different,” Terrible commented. “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.

He added: “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, onstage and not onstage, too.”

“Behelit” is Slaughter to Prevail’s third single of 2024, following up “K.O.D.” and “Conflict”. Terrible has also made solo appearances alongside Tech N9ne and Ronnie Radke on Falling in Reverse’s viral smash “Ronald.”
