Slaughter To Prevail is now streaming their moshy, groovy new single "1984." The single's video also finds vocalist Alex Terrible going totally maskless throughout and looking plenty pissed off. Terrible posted the single's lyrics as well, which seem to be about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The band hasn't made a concrete statement on what the song is actually about outside the lyrics, so they'll have to do for now. They are:
what if it's all about you?
what if these tears are shed at your house too?
you will smear this shit on the white walls
in your own house with your fam
conscience is DEAD
I see the marching troops
hurts… but I see friends there have no face have no fate
can't figure out you're a dumb or what?
death and pain trails behind the crowd
what is it all about?
Please stop the violence
please stop the bloodshed on earth
look into the eyes of children who are scared and remember remember yourself
Please stop the violence
please stop the bloodshed on earth!
my brother my brother!
anger will live in memory! anger will live and prevail!
pretend you are not guilty
pretend you don't see this shit
pretend that this is not your war
Pretend FUCK
WAR
their eyes are damnd
their faith is crucified
WAR
their tongue is stone
their tongue is dead
WAR
this son of a bitch will stick a knife in your back

Terrible has previously released the following statement on the war, saying "I'm making an official statement on behalf of the whole band, as a leader. I'm Alex Terrible and I play with Slaughter To Prevail. I'm the vocalist, and we play deathcore and death metal. We show guns and weapons and tanks in our video clips, and so on. Despite this fact, we are against the war. We are against any war. It is hurting us to see what is happening right now in Ukraine. We have been in Ukraine many times for shows, and our last tour finished in Ukraine.
"Please do not make the whole Russian people an accomplice [to the actions of the Russian government]. Please. I wish you a beautiful, peaceful sky above your head. Thank you for your attention."
