Russian metal group SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL have spoken out against their country’s military invasion of Ukraine.
Yesterday, the band shared the following message via their social media: “No to war! Our band has nothing to do with politics, we do not take sides. We are for all peaceful inhabitants of this world and for world peace. We do not accept ANY military action. We wish all of you and your loved ones, relatives and friends to stay safe and hope this nightmare ends as soon as possible.”
SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL hail from Yekaterinburg, where hours earlier hundreds of anti-war protesters took to the streets to condemn their country’s military invasion of Ukraine. With chants of “No to war,” many protesters had stated that they were ashamed of their nation while several were detained by authorities.
On Thursday (February 24), Russian president Vladimir Putin called for Ukraine’s “demilitarization and denazification” and warned other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to “consequences they have never seen.”
SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL’s latest album, “Kostolom”, was released last August via Sumerian Records.
