Alex Terrible released a death metal cover of The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’ on Instagram.
“The Beatles cover,” the Slaughter to Prevail singer captioned his post. While some commenters liked his cover, some were also critical.
“Hey Alex! Can you do a ‘normal’ cover? Curious to hear you sing,” a person wrote. “It’s my normal cover what you talking about,” Terrible said in his response.
Another individual commented, “I would listen to an entire Beatles cover album like this.” One other person wrote, “It’s like taking cool vocals and somehow ruining them while trying to make them cool.
This wasn’t Terrible’s first cover. In April, Alex released his version of ‘Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames’ by Lorna Shore. Lorna Shore’s vocalist, Will Ramos, praised Alex’s cover, saying, “Just finished- you beasted. You did a killer job on this one. Thanks for taking the time to do it. \m/.”
Slaughter to Prevail shared the single ‘Viking’ on July 28, 2023, followed by ‘Conflict’ on February 28, 2024. They released ‘Kid of Darkness’ on May 24, 2024, and ‘Behelit’ on October 15, 2024. These songs will be on their upcoming third album, ‘Grizzly.’
‘Behelit’ also has a video with animation from the famous Manga series ‘Berserk.’ Terrible explained, “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.”
He continued, “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,” Alex further said.
The vocalist 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, on stage and not on stage too.”
Slaughter to Prevail has no scheduled date for ‘Grizzly.’
