You’re welcome! 😊 As much as I was looking forward to this reaction, I was also looking forward to seeing Hollywood try to get Smokey to guess the name of the song. It was as awkward and difficult as I expected. 😂 And you guys didn’t even flinch when Alex was wrestling the bear! I don’t think they’re scary. Alex Terrible is a goofball with a great sense of humor...but yeah, their image is a bit intimidating. I don’t think the band has made an official statement about the meaning of the song/video. Baba Yaga is an ogress in Slavic folklore who eats her victims, who are often children. A lot of fans speculate that the dismembered person they’re eating in the video is Baba Yaga. They have an album coming out this year, so hopefully we’ll be getting more outrageous music videos. But “Agony” is another great one from them. We need to get you guys to react to some of Alex’s covers, I think. (Also, my name is just my first name and last initial. But the discussion about the meaning was hilarious. 😂) 🤘🏻🖤

I want to applaud the bear for being so brave to do this video with Alex Terrible

Legend has it that every time satan goes to sleep he checks under his bed for alex terrible

Agony is another killer song of them.

Next ---> Agony

in Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga is an old woman (or trio of old women) who live in a hut that stands on chicken legs. It can be both a good and evil spirit. Yes, the bear is real and trained obv. The guy at 8:59 is the lead singer

“Dude, the CHUNKINESS!” I felt this! 🤟🏽

Seeing a rap guy be amazed so much by most of the heavy metalcore/deathcore band and blasting on drop is really amazing.

These guys are really 100% raw energy every second. I am so glad they came out with such a hit - this track is insanely good - its unstoppable in every aspect.

The song is a about a baba yaga its a Slavic folklore which is a type of witch that mainly likes eating kids and it is a strong witch

This is by far one of your best reactions to date, you boys looked like you loved every minute. I thought Hollywood was going to get up and start head banging at one point 🤣🤣🤣. This one was fuckin heaps of fun lads 🤘🤘

Just stumbled on you guys, I love watching your reactions! I agree with you all, Slaughter to Prevail is one of the most hardcore bands out there, if not, the hardest. I love their music as well as their artistic vision. You guys are fun, keep it up!

Great reaction!! No reaction to the tank, rocket launcher! Lol Hollywood6 reaction had me laughing some parts of the song I thought he would literally come out of his chair! 😂 you guys are the best!!

After finding this video I had to subscribe. You guys are so wholesome and seem like some cool down to Earth guys.

Dude, I don't know how this got by me. I'm just now seeing it. Freakin love this song!!! Great reaction, as always.

i love the vibe you guys have it makes me so happy!!! just subbed :”)

Chelsea grin, recreant no explanation needed.

Thanks for the shout out guys (Bulgarian here ^^). Love your reactions and just everything in between, you guys are really awesome.

I ABSOLUTELY love your faces during the entire video LOLOL Next, give their song Agony a go. That's one of my favs. I love you guys!

This album is going to go so hard! I can't wait

Alexwrestledabearonce There should be an award for being so patient on waiting for a reaction to The Devil Wears Prada

I just subscribed to y’all and I wanted to say thank you gentlemen for getting me into Babymetal holy crap their song mesguinte or vixen is amazing i can’t stop listening to the breakdown it was flames 🔥

I am so happy that the 2 of you recognize Good music when you hear regardless of genre.

I am definitely seeing this band if they come to town. I need to update my medical insurance before I go though, because my 43 year old ass can't hang as much as back in the day.

This may be my favorite reaction ever. Full stop lol. ❤️

The struggle to get Smoke to guess the name on this one was like Peter Griffin trying to push the frog out of the window.

Slaughter to Prevail- Hell

Bro in the Braves shirt was getting the hype going even more when Alex was holding the head and going into the breakdown lmao. I loved it..I've seen many reactions but this one got me hyped up more during that section. Lol keep it up guys both of y'all seemed to enjoy this one.

Best song they've ever done! If you guys check out more of them "Agony" is dope and from this same upcoming album.

Alex made one the sickest mask designs, i ordered my gold Kid of Darkness mask but it takes months to arrive but it's gonna be so worth it.

Some references, that can be found there. Baba Yaga - in slavic folklore its witch, that lives in deep forest (word Baba or Баба in russian means either grandmother or countryside style of calling any woman. Thats kinda rude, but still), and in some stories acts as helper to hero of story, and sometimes works as "horror" antagonist, like she's stealing children and cook em in big pot. Also, btw, anthropologists, who study russian folklore also associates Baba Yaga with.... How to say that. Like gatekeeper between real world and world of the dead, like clear origins of that character are somewhat unclear. In famous John Wick series John's nickname is Baba Yaga, altough she's clearly mythologycally woman, no male counterpart. So i can think that they either played on topic of either Alex acting as Baba Yaga, like some of russian lyrical parts saying, or he acted as killer of witch, because you can see, that body parts - head look like kinda womans head. So, he killed and they with boys eaten Baba Yaga, presumably. Also, interior in start of video is clearly interior of traditional russian/slavic home from mid-ages to even nowadays in countryside parts of Russia. One of boys also cooked some body parts in pot in start. So, thats mythological references. English lyrics and some parts of russian one are in style of "Im so tough, cool, dont cross way before me", etc. So i assume, thats probably reference to John Wick, like all that lasers pointed at Alex, tank, rocket launcher, bulletproof west. Also, scene in the end, where they play russian roulette - they all wearing russian gopnik, or 90-2000's russian mafia style clothing, thats why tracksuits with gold chains, leather jackets, etc. It is canonical look of russian gangster from mid nineties to up to 2010. Also, whole scene, i think, is reference to somewhat "cultish" russian dark comedy, called Жмурки, or Jmurki in stransliteration. I dont know, how to translate that word in context, because there can be serious wordplay. That is very obscure, gory and dark comedy about some unfortunate russian bandits and their doings. Also, i think, that song is somewhat collection of all russian related stereotypes, like bear, russian house, baba yaga (folklore witch), tank, rocket launcher, AK rifle, winter, bandits, vodka, russian roulette. But its not just like stereotypes, but whole design of video is not just make fun of em, but to make em look cool and stylish, so group definetely embracing that "folklore". Sorry for bad english and long post

First I must say how much we Love you guys!!! 💗 Nana King and I had fun reacting to STP too. It’s wild and scary, but we have to mention how talented Alex and the band are!!!! Fun times🎶💕 Rock On ☮️🎶💕🤟✌️

Yooo I was thinking about the Eagle right before you said that! 😂😂

Нереальный уровень😈💀☠👹🤟🤘👍

Thank you for not pausing every 2 seconds like ALL OTHER REACTION channels..enjoy, then discuss. 🙏

Love the heavy, ya'll should do more cannibal corpse

You guys gotta react to their Agony video

I gotta say, awesome reaction my dudes, love watching you rock out. If you haven't yet, I'd recommend The Heretic Prevails by Shadow of Intent, and Lifeblood by Brand of Sacrifice. Both bands are absolutely destroying the deathcore scene at the moment, Kyle Anderson from Brand of Sacrifice, Ben Duerr of Shadow of Intent are both vocalists I would put on par with Alex Terrible. Also I'd throw in Pretenders by Darko US, another absolute banger.

Nice, super reaction🙂

Another brutal track from these guys! Ouroboros!! The foot work on the kicks and the overall brutal sound!! 😅

Baba Yaga is like the Russian boggy man. They call John Wick in the John Wick movies Baba Yaga

Yall should check out some of alex terrible's covers. One I would definitely recommend is chandelier it's heavy and shows Alex's comedic side

Agony is great so is beast

Dude, for you guys. Check out Alex Terrible doing gangsters paradise. Alex is the vocalist for Slaughter by the way.

Great reaction, guys. Subscribed in the first minute. You must try BOUND IN FEAR. great band from UK. Try out their songs (De)scendance and Beyond the Mire.

Dimmu Borgir progenies of the great apocalypse, or anything by Behemoth if you really want hard core

5:37 for the actuall reaction

чем больше смотришь на произношение иностранцев, тем больше ностальгия по 2007г

You guys HAVE to do “To the Hell Fire” from Lorna Shore

Guys, u are awesome!! What about the Alex Terrible's cover of 21pilots - Ride? There he is singing with cleans and doing amazing growls at the same time!

Just wanted to be that guy and say, Hardcore is bands like terror, hatebreed, madball, cold as life. These guys are a sub genre mix of Death Metal, and Hardcore, making it called Deathcore. Or Extreme Metal, is another way to describe them.

Just for some background info: Baba Yaga is a character from slavic/russian folklore. She is an old hag, a witch living in the forests. Legend has it she lives in a hut that can walk on chicken legs with a fence around it made of bones. Baba Yaga has iron teeth and eats human flesh. She is not purely evil though. There are also stories about her helping people who got lost in the forests but also stories of her luring people in to devour them.

Trust my Smoky...it gets way more hardcore with metal...way more hardcore. Cannibal Corpse is a great start for this next stage of hardcore metal evolution, they & the bands that came out around the late 80's early 90's...the lyrics make this stuff look tame & ready for radio play. Don't get me wrong, love these guys, but definitely not the most insane stuff out there.

It's great to see people respecting other genres

Hardest reaction too... U guys rock

Hi guys!It's nice that you're interested in Slavic legends.And so I would like you to understand who Baba Yaga really is.It is very strange that people do not turn to the primary sources and everything is clearly described there.First of all, Baba Yaga is a GUARDIAN!Guardian of two worlds.Alive and dead.None of the English-speaking word interpreters will be able to make out the main meaning of the word WITCH.Because it is Old Slavonic)And the root of the word Witch (Ведьма-Witch the root of the word ВЕД-to know) is to KNOW.That is, in the old days, witches were called people who KNEW!(Think about it)Now about the children...Do not understand the words "took (stole) children" literally.The thing is previously, there was practically no medicine.And people, especially CHILDREN, died from a simple cut or the flu.(The child mortality rate was huge)And since Baba Yaga is the guardian of both the living and the dead world, she SAW OFF (stole from loving people) from one world to another.Death in the old days was literally everywhere.Therefore, people who did not know what to do scolded and hated the GUARD in every possible way.After all, when a person suddenly dies, it is all the same as death (the GUARDIAN) to steal a living one.That's how the legend of Baba Yaga has come down to our days and gradually acquired various " terrible abilities") Now you really know who such a Baba Yaga.Good and peace to your home!Greetings from Russia =)

You may as well react to all slaughter to prevail songs they all slap 100%. My favourite song by them now had it on repeat for the 300th or so time now. Its like slipknot and IOWA vibes mixed together so good. And its the most Russian video you will ever see in KZfaq. NU deathcore is a thing now 100%. Amazing reaction bros. This has to be my favourite breakdown ever made honestly.

Dude, my big respect from Mother 🇷🇺✊👊🤟

Just well done for guessing the name man 👍

This is my new fav band!!!!

Baba Yaga is a witch/ogress in slavic folklore, she ate people (mostly children) and lived in a house on bird legs. She is not always evil tho she would sometimes help people. If you saw the hellboy movies she makes apperance in i think the second one with the golden army (not sure, but she is in one of them)

Check out Hell with Slaughter to prevail. Awsome and Def hard

Ayooo I love all the braves merch😎😎😎

Bone Breaker from Slaughter to Prevail is an amazing track to check out

you guys should check Archspire - Calamus Will Animate (Karaoke version) one of the fastest and technical band ever

Daddy Vlady should make this the Russian national anthem lol loved the reaction, you got my sub 👌

5:40. You're welcome

5:40

Agony should be next

Here is a question for you both, what was Loch Ness's finishing move?

Alex does lots of covers on his channel of all sorts of different song like Chandelier by Sia.

Please do convictions-the war that followed me home

I know you guys will never do it, but hey, why not try. "Mental Cruelty - Death Worship". This song is new (May 28th), and it is MORE BRUTAL than this!!! It will stomp you two into the floor, haha. Unbelievably heavy. Enjoy.

Dude.. You guys did their song "Demolisher" 8 months ago.. Great reaction then as well... Killer fucking band.. Check out "Upon A Burning Body" they have a song called "Texas Blood Money" you would dig I think!!!!

Agony is my favorite

Please react to the band face yourself. They are very heavy and the vocalist can scream. She is so very talented. Hypothermia, red or shadow self

Alex terrible is the lead vocalist and hes a beast

Fellas! Jon Conner-Work of Art ft DJ Paul Jarren Benton and Locksmith or Vehicle City!!!!!! Please check him out. Dope Detroit based lyricist.

Hey mans, you make react to Radio Tapok by cover LP Numb or other

Please check out the song terrorist threat by To the Grave! It's so brutal! 🤘❤

Yall didn't see the full video! There's a version of him walkin down the street qith a fully auto long gun and a Tank cruising right behind him! Better video os this song!

Yo you guys should do Popular Monster by Falling in Reverse. I know for a fact you guys will dig it!

👍👍👍👍👍👍

So when are we going to get to whitechaple? Or job for a cowboy?

Good song and band. If you are interested in heavier music, I can point you in the right direction.

Fun dynamic: a whitish black guy and a blackish white guy.

Give a listen to DISTANT - the eternal lament

nice reaction. Hardcore IMO is like asking someone if the food is spicy. It's all just relative to what your use to and what you've experienced in life. Back in the 80's The Rock Band W.A.S.P. once cut a topless females neck after torturing her on stage. Just an act they didn't kill anybody but it did get bloody. and the fans would cheer. That's hardcore. And I'm glad that stopped before someone got the dumb idea of actually doing that on stage. I didn't need to see, what looked like a person eaten by a bear or shooting themselves. I know it happened off screen, but I live in NYC. Got more than enough crap in real life going on here. I don't need it in my music or movies as well. It's also one of the reasons why I'm glad Babymetal.

Only thing that really makes this hardcore is the video. Yes it is heavy but the visuals and ending really take it to a whole new level.

Hardcore.. Lorna shore to the hell fire

You should really check the new official video of Till Lindemann “Ich hasse Kinder”. Just sayin’ ;)

Please react to To The Hellfire by Lorna Shore!!!

chelsea grin recreant please

I think of Baba O’Riley (the Who song). Definitely not The Who, though! And I agree they ARE bloody scary 😳 😆

Video start minute 5:41 xd

Welcome to Russia!! 🤟🤟🤟😈😈😈😈👍

You need need to Check Agony from Slaughter To Prevail. Also Bone 🦴 Crusher is another great one. The lead singer is Alex Terrible. The masks are sick. There like Slipknot on Steroids.

Next ... s

Next song wbtbwb vs Eskimo c callboy hypa hypa

Smokey, just fyi, about using the term hardcore to describe metal. Hardcore was a more extreme offshoot of punk developed in NYC in the 80s. Hardcore kids and metalheads were often rivals that clashed. I know how you are using the word, but in the metal community the word used is "extreme" to describe the harsher, more brutal styles of metal. It is never called hardcore because hardcore is a specific non metal genre.
