Background

On 26 February 2022, Slaughter to Prevail released a statement on Facebook condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine which began two days earlier. Alex Terrible issued another statement on behalf of the band via Instagram and YouTube on 1 March, also urging viewers to "not make the whole Russian people an accomplice". [3] [4] In May, due to the sanctions, as well as an interest in the American metal scene, the band temporarily moved to Orlando, Florida. [5] On 9 August, they released the song "1984", inspired by the George Orwell novel of the same name, in protest of the government and the war. [6]

On 28 July 2023, Slaughter to Prevail released the single "Viking", which was followed by another single, "Conflict", released on 28 February 2024. On 24 May 2024, the band released the single "Kid of Darkness", and on 15 October, they released "Behelit", with these songs set to appear on the band's upcoming third studio album Grizzly. [7] On 23 April 2025, the band released the single "Russian Grizzly in America" and revealed that their new album would be released on 18 July. [8] On 28 May, they released "Song 3" and its accompanying music video in collaboration with Japanese band Babymetal. [9] [10]
