Slaughter To Prevail is pushing heavy music to new extremes, delivering unapologetically hard modern metal while smashing expectations, and becoming one of the most talked about bands in heavy music in the process.

Millions of streams later, it’s safe to say it’s a partnership that has served both parties well. When they’re not commanding festival crowds, frontman Alex Terrible is proving his fighting spirit beyond his musical career.
