Despite the ongoing war in Ukraine and the resulting tense geopolitical climate, Alex Terrible, the Florida-based singer of the Russian deathcore band SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL, publicly celebrated his Russian heritage on social media.
This isn’t the first time Terrible has openly displayed his patriotism; even after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine shifted global views, he has continued to glorify his homeland, notably by wearing a Russian flag on stage this year. The band faced difficulties in the aftermath of the invasion due to shifting public opinion towards Russia.
He wrote in a post: “I’m a man of peace. I believe that everyone born on this earth is a citizen of the world. But each has his own country, his own culture, his own story. Everyone has a good story and a bad one, and whatever it is, you have to respect it. People ain’t perfect but what I do is play music around the world in my mother tongue f**king love it. And I don’t do it to earn some respect from my compatriots, like look what a patriot I am. I’m not a patriot ! I don’t need such a f**king opinion ! I do it because I am Russian and I am proud to be Russian. No matter where I am. I want to live where I want. I want to travel, I f**king love America. But Russia is my home, beloved home. With their history, with their people, with their wounds and victories. I’m with you Russia. Forever and ever”
