Spawning out of Eurasia, the modern Russian culture-inspired viral video for the deathcore anthem “Slavic Metal” reached over three-million views since dropping in 2019. The single merged guitarist Nik Nocturnal (Termina) and vocalist Toli Wild (Wildways) for a Mora Prokaza–Slaughter to Prevail folk-slam-core hit.
Like Alien to Aliens, this sequel goes harder. Continuing the mixture of melodic deathcore with the iconic slavic squat, “Slavic Metal 2” includes Nik Nocturnal now with Slovenian nü-core pioneers Within Destruction, beatdown gang No Face No Case from Czechia, and Distant… and a balalaika solo by Dmitry Demyanenko from Russian proggers Shokran.
