**💭 Thoughts:** Slaughter to Prevail’s 2025 studio album *GRIZZLY* further solidifies the band as one of the best in the modern deathcore scene. The record features the Russian five-piece continuing to experiment with clean vocals, orchestral/symphonic elements, and influences outside of deathcore such as nu-metal or even kawaii metal—as seen on “Song 3”, featuring BABYMETAL. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)
