Since filming this reaction, I have finished the entire Berserk (1997) anime, am halfway through watching The Golden Age Trilogy (Memorial Edition), and have started reading the manga... And all I can say is... WOW. I can't believe I didn't get into this sooner.
Yeah... Read the manga. The Black Swordsman and the Golden Age Arc are only at 1/8 of the story and not even the best parts. The anime versions also skip a lot of character development and some fairly large chunks of the story originally written in the manga.
Sounds like it was completely ripped off from the movie requiem for a dream, who rammstein ripped it off for Mein Herz Brennt who now slaughter to prevail ripped it off.
The look on guts face while he rips off his bandages crying tears of blood and screaming breaks my heart everytime, he has nothing but trouble since he was found as a baby. STP did an amazing job on this. I've started reading it now.
@shadowfire6117 now I know why he named him guts. Alex could be his own character in the berserk universe. Alex and guts just go and kill the Godhand once and for all and Alex's scream could destroy the behelit and the godhand.
They have a wider audience than most people would probably expect. I saw a few Slaughter to Prevail shirts at the Evanescence show in Edmonton on Sunday.
I'm loving the cross-genre trend that's going on right now. We listeners are fortunate that it seems to be opening up huge creativity doors for artists.
This song runs every time since it dropped some days ago. I very like this song because of the symphoniecs too. And i really waited for your reaction to it.
Slaughter are just to good man. This is my favourite song from Slaughter. Everything about it is top tier in My book. Such a catchy chorus to. Love the reaction ❤️❤️🔥🔥 also such a chunky riff to
I absolutely love this song. Never really listened to Slaughter to Prevail before. After listening to this I will definitely listen to more of their music This was epic.
When I listened to it at the release, I couldn't believe my ears. This song is incredible, and holy shit I've never like heard vocals like in this chorus. I liked slaughter before, but now I'm a fan, not only because of this song but because of the stylistic range they have.
Thank you for being honest about your emotional reaction and that you aren't afraid to show it actually affecting you. We need more male role models like you Tank.
My son is also 3, turning 4 in a couple months, and I wish i was cool enough to get him to run around the house screaming Slaughter to Prevail as well. Awesome parenting
Rammstein influence? This was stolen from the movie Requiem for a Dream which was released in October of the year 2000. Mein Herz Brennt (the song where everyone thinks its from) came from the studio album "Mutter" which was released in 2001.
Hearing this played for the first time live at SNW last year was something else. Short set but they packed it in! I moshed against a couple guys in Teletubby suits during this song. One of my best concert memories
Ngl, the first few times I heard this song i had no idea it was slaughter. It was on my Spotify Playlist and I just jammed to it while I was driving until one day I was sitting at a red light and decided to look at who it was and I was blown away. Best song I've heard in a few years and it will never get old
Wow! That was fire! 😀🤘 Loved it and I also was surprised about the symphonic part. Never been in to to STP that much this might have won me over 😁 About Ingrid, what have you created 😅😉💕
I went to one of those shows this summer with manson and FFDP. Slaughter seemed to have just as many fans as Mason did which I thought was insane. Once in a lifetime experience it was fantastic
I think the love for both bmth and slipknot has become a bigger and bigger influence on Alex and it shows in how much variety he’s been producing with slaughter. I love it all and I’m happy this band is blowing up.
Symphonic Core? I also heard some Ramstein influence for sure. Maybe even some classical too that "bum bum-up-a-bum" in the background score is very familiar. I am at 9:05 though it is throughout the song, but I know that sound.
They've been playing Behelit in live shows for quite a while now. By the way, this song was inspired by Rammstein. Alex spoke about it in an interview.
my favorite from STP to-date, even including the stuff Alex covers for fun. absolutely amazing tribute to Berserk and the Mangaka who sadly isnt here with us today.
@TankTheTech Absolutely one of the most underrated! Saw them open for Soilwork (another vastly underrated band) back in 2006 along with Mnemic and Darkest Hour! Worth the 6 Hour drive and speeding ticket!
Glad I’m not the only one with a toddler that loves Alex. My 2 going in 3 year old loved Alex’s doom videos lol when he was a little older the 1 year lol.
Dude. Imagine Slaughter to prevail going full classic on a video and performing this song live with an orchestra behind em like bands used to do 😂😂😂 not goina happen, but would be epic lol. I 100% agree with you. Watching this band’s growth and progression has been a super fun, super awesome experience.
Just be ready to see and read some really vile things. Manga has some of the darkest themes and story elements out of fiction ever. It's beautifully sad and gross and happy and angering and all of that.
Your daughter wearing the Slaughter mask is the most adorable thing ever. If she wears that to costume day at school, she'll have the best Halloween outfit ever
I wish this song were out when they were with Manson and FFDP because I went to see that show specifically for Slaughter to Prevail and had so much fun T_T
Since filming this reaction, I have finished the entire Berserk (1997) anime, am halfway through watching The Golden Age Trilogy (Memorial Edition), and have started reading the manga... And all I can say is... WOW. I can't believe I didn't get into this sooner.
i'd love an update video with your thoughts on Berserk
Yeah... Read the manga. The Black Swordsman and the Golden Age Arc are only at 1/8 of the story and not even the best parts. The anime versions also skip a lot of character development and some fairly large chunks of the story originally written in the manga.
I bought the first chapter of the manga and it was great; should I finish it?
According to my husband, the manga is the best. The anime was far from the greatness of the manga..just his opinion lol
@bolillo5013 yes!
Fun fact: the orchestration in this song was done by the pianist and orchestra composer for Fleshgod Apocalypse (a god teir band) Francesco Ferrini :)
Dude that guy gets around a lot. 😂 But that speaks a lot to how good he is.
He also helps out Chris Wiseman to polish up the orchestra for Shadow of intent. Incredibly talented guy :)
That's awesome
@Pygmyer and helped Ice Nine Kills with their recent song A Work of Art
Sounds like it was completely ripped off from the movie requiem for a dream, who rammstein ripped it off for Mein Herz Brennt who now slaughter to prevail ripped it off.
The look on guts face while he rips off his bandages crying tears of blood and screaming breaks my heart everytime, he has nothing but trouble since he was found as a baby. STP did an amazing job on this. I've started reading it now.
I forgot this song was about berserk and I thought it was about Alex’s dog, and I was really concerned lol
@shadowfire6117 now I know why he named him guts. Alex could be his own character in the berserk universe. Alex and guts just go and kill the Godhand once and for all and Alex's scream could destroy the behelit and the godhand.
Best manga ever
They have a wider audience than most people would probably expect. I saw a few Slaughter to Prevail shirts at the Evanescence show in Edmonton on Sunday.
My daughter's jiu jitsu instructor blasts the Slaughter to Prevail in the gym when he does his personal workout early in the day.
Slaughter To Prevail are definitely going places and we're all lucky to be along for the ride.
Wait a minute . . . your daughter is 3 years old already? Dude I remember when you announced that she was born. That can't be right lol.
Almost 4, actually. Hahaha
I love that they keep evolving. I'm never disappointed.
Or “Devolving” and steadily becoming more mainstream..
@@The0nlyy becoming more popular doesn't necessarily mean devolving
I'm loving the cross-genre trend that's going on right now. We listeners are fortunate that it seems to be opening up huge creativity doors for artists.
Definitely agree
That's why modern music is some of my favorite ever made
Slaughter To Prevail has been my favorite modern metal band for a while now. And it continues.
I am on board with you there! Feels like the band I have been looking for since, before they existed.
Lol
I love Metal and I love Berserk. This was awesome!
9:34 - Didn't expect to see Dr. Mike on this channel lol)
I love Dr. Mike. Hahaha
He is omnipresent, especially near elementary schools.
I really love this song and it just shows the talent of this band
I was never a big STP fan, but I could get into this. The symphonics just add so much depth to the sound.
This song runs every time since it dropped some days ago. I very like this song because of the symphoniecs too. And i really waited for your reaction to it.
Thaaaanks Tank!! ❤ Alex cleans are great, he's becoming such an incredible vocalist ❤
Slaughter are just to good man. This is my favourite song from Slaughter. Everything about it is top tier in My book. Such a catchy chorus to. Love the reaction ❤️❤️🔥🔥 also such a chunky riff to
That speaking bit at the start is fuckin cringe as fuck
ma man tank ur reaction are always one the top ones keep it up
I absolutely love this song. Never really listened to Slaughter to Prevail before. After listening to this I will definitely listen to more of their music This was epic.
Always thought i was the only one tearing up and getting emotional to heavy ass songs, guss not! Hell yeah brother!
I'm getting chills... my Brand is aching!!!
When I first heard this the first band to pop in my head was Septicflesh.
Im seeing them in knotfest in Australia next year i NEED them to play this
Okey, thats a banger!
Alex's cleans in this remind of in flames "the quiet place" era
Man, I was waiting for your reaction! Berserk just got new fans!
Sounds like Alex is proving to all the haters that he isnt a one trick pony. Sounds gnarly.
New favorite Slaughter song. If this is the evolution, I’m here for it
When I listened to it at the release, I couldn't believe my ears. This song is incredible, and holy shit I've never like heard vocals like in this chorus. I liked slaughter before, but now I'm a fan, not only because of this song but because of the stylistic range they have.
That was dope
Alex Terrible never disappoints
Thank you for being honest about your emotional reaction and that you aren't afraid to show it actually affecting you. We need more male role models like you Tank.
i have this song on repeat. Its a banger. Someone in boxing, Wrestling or MMA needs to use this as an entrance song
My son is also 3, turning 4 in a couple months, and I wish i was cool enough to get him to run around the house screaming Slaughter to Prevail as well. Awesome parenting
Ohhhh he performed this at sick new world this year. So glad it's officially out. It sounded amazing live
It was Francesco Ferrini of Fleshgod Apocalypse who did the Symphonic/Orchestral elements of this song
Wow...i finally got down with a slaughter to prevail song after all these years
Berserk is so good! Can't wait for the reaction video lol
Awesome reaction!!!
Mein Herz Brennt! Yes! I've been racking my brain, what it reminds me of! Well, Alex is a Rammstein fan.
Some clean sections also reminded me of 2010ish In Flames
Rammstein influence? This was stolen from the movie Requiem for a Dream which was released in October of the year 2000. Mein Herz Brennt (the song where everyone thinks its from) came from the studio album "Mutter" which was released in 2001.
@@INDRIDCOLD83Really?
that intro is awesome
There are so many good things happening in this song! Love ittttttttttt!
I love how enthusiastic Tank's daughter is for Slaughter, and inevitably heavy music.
I can't wait to watch them play this song live.
Remember hearing this for the first time at Sick New World it was fantastic!
Oh dang! That’s probably the best song from these dudes yet!
Yeah this is definitely showing they're still consistently maturing as artists, fucking great to see!
Mein Herz Blyat
The flick gets real emotional
Hearing this played for the first time live at SNW last year was something else. Short set but they packed it in! I moshed against a couple guys in Teletubby suits during this song. One of my best concert memories
Ngl, the first few times I heard this song i had no idea it was slaughter.

Best song I've heard in a few years and it will never get old
I like the version they played @ Sick New World back in April. They've been playing this live for 6 months. The chorus has changed quiet a bit tho
Damn what a tribute holy shit.
TankTheDad! Showing the way.
I totally agree with you...👍❤️🔥🤘💋💥
Major Rammstein vibes with that intro which makes sense seeing that Alex loves them
Wow! That was fire! 😀🤘 Loved it and I also was surprised about the symphonic part. Never been in to to STP that much this might have won me over 😁
About Ingrid, what have you created 😅😉💕
EPIC 🤘
Wholesome AF that your kid is so in to a heavy band!
#1 song of 2024. I’ve never watched the anime either but now I want to. What a HUGE track for Slaughter to Prevail. That riff is heavy af.
Mein Herz Brennt was the direct influence for this song. Greetings from Germany. 😁
I went to one of those shows this summer with manson and FFDP. Slaughter seemed to have just as many fans as Mason did which I thought was insane. Once in a lifetime experience it was fantastic
I legit have had the entire berserk collection on dvd for like a decade and still havent gotten around to watching any of it
my 2-year-old son has been a massive fan of STP since he was one!
I think the love for both bmth and slipknot has become a bigger and bigger influence on Alex and it shows in how much variety he’s been producing with slaughter. I love it all and I’m happy this band is blowing up.
This might their best song. Soooooo good
Symphonic Core? I also heard some Ramstein influence for sure. Maybe even some classical too that "bum bum-up-a-bum" in the background score is very familiar. I am at 9:05 though it is throughout the song, but I know that sound.
Their best song head and shoulders above. My daughters almost 4 and she likes saosin and Paleface in the car i always oblige.
His clean vocal in this song is clean but still agressive u know what I mean
He has really unique clean vocals and I agree it still feels... Powerful? I think is the term for it
Who knew we all needed sophisticated death metal? :)
When the vocalist is huge Rammstein and Berserk fan
Kind of mindblowing that STP, Brand of Sacrifice & Beast in Black all make songs about Berserk .
They've been playing Behelit in live shows for quite a while now. By the way, this song was inspired by Rammstein. Alex spoke about it in an interview.
Mein herz brennt!
my favorite from STP to-date, even including the stuff Alex covers for fun. absolutely amazing tribute to Berserk and the Mangaka who sadly isnt here with us today.
just ultimately really dope music🔥
his clean here is like the clean vocal of vocalist of Cattle Decapitation
OK cool apparently I'm a symphonic deathcore guy now
Said a lot of the same things… the evolution is amazing. This is such a sick song and the chorus was such a nice surprise
Ahhhh animes from the 90s
Vibing to that BAR intro music 🕶
These guys never fail to surprise me. I can't help but love everything they're putting out right now. Such a refreshing thing for deathcore.
We have achieved the unthinkable yet again: Symphonic Slaughtercore
The cleans give me a Threat Signal feel.
Exactly! One of the most under appreciated band ever I've come across.
Damn dude, totally hear it now that you mention it. Such an underrated band.
@TankTheTech Absolutely one of the most underrated! Saw them open for Soilwork (another vastly underrated band) back in 2006 along with Mnemic and Darkest Hour! Worth the 6 Hour drive and speeding ticket!
They don’t fucking miss
Glad I’m not the only one with a toddler that loves Alex. My 2 going in 3 year old loved Alex’s doom videos lol when he was a little older the 1 year lol.
Why not start your kids on a band that's more accessible, like Ozzy, Van Halen, or Iron Maiden?
Alex the Ramos ft. Lorna to Prevail😍
Dude. Imagine Slaughter to prevail going full classic on a video and performing this song live with an orchestra behind em like bands used to do 😂😂😂 not goina happen, but would be epic lol. I 100% agree with you. Watching this band’s growth and progression has been a super fun, super awesome experience.
Like the Devin Townsend Project. Why couldn't it happen?
Your kid is going to be (is) the coolest!
I am dead from the image his daughter screaming demolisher in alex mask
Hopefully STP comes back to Nevada soon!
6:48 mein heltz brennt. 😂 Love it! ❤️🤘 Me too. 😁
Ive liked pretty much everything ive heard from STP but this is a masterpiece. My son was recommending the manga. Im definitely going to check it out.
Just be ready to see and read some really vile things. Manga has some of the darkest themes and story elements out of fiction ever. It's beautifully sad and gross and happy and angering and all of that.
the symphonic stuff really reminded me of VAST (for those who remember the late 90's)
Wow, that's a deep cut. Touched was my jam. Great music.
@@mystic_mittens6036 I love hearing hints of old greats in young talent, fun for many good reasons
Cleans remind me of Kirk from Crowbar.
Your daughter wearing the Slaughter mask is the most adorable thing ever. If she wears that to costume day at school, she'll have the best Halloween outfit ever
I immediately thought of Mein Herz Brennt too my dude!
I wish this song were out when they were with Manson and FFDP because I went to see that show specifically for Slaughter to Prevail and had so much fun T_T
This is their best song
Fucking STELLAR!!!! an awesome new side from Alex. On 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know some fans hate this song but I love it!🤘
