Alex Terrible (Slaughter To Prevail) is under scrutiny once again – this time after the band’s performance at Bloodstock

There’s no rest for the wicked. There’s no rest from controversy for Alex Terrible too, apparently. Fans seem to be criticising Slaughter To Prevail‘s singer after a recent performance at the Bloodstock Festival, as per lambgoat. The frontman makes this claim in a reel, that has been now deleted from instagram.

I genuinely don’t understand what I’m supposed to apologize to the trans community for. Can someone please explain it to me? I’ll apologize, no problem. I’m not too proud to do it 🫪 I was told they even protested to try to get our performance canceled before we went on stage. I understand that not everyone likes us, and that we especially don’t appeal to people those who lack critical thinking. But that’s okay. I used to be like that myself. The important thing is to keep changing for the better. And that’s what I wish for everyone. @bloodstockopenair team and @vicky.hungerford thank you for believing in us ! much love for all of you

One person left a comment on the reel, which led to Alex Terrible’s response.

Will you take this opportunity to apologise and outline how you plan to make amends to the trans community?

After the video, Alex Terrible shares screenshots of more messages and remarks about the circumstance.

And Terrible replied:

You have no idea how many messages like this I get. Hellooo? What exactly am I supposed to learn from them? And more importantly, WHY?

You guys are the ones who have a problem with me — I don’t have a problem with you.

I genuinely don’t care how you identify, who you sleep with, how you dress, what religion you follow, what political views you have, or anything else. I literally DO NOT CARE, guys!

What I DON’T LIKE is when someone tries to push their values or beliefs onto me.

You need to understand one thing: you are not my enemies. I don’t want to know everything about everyone. I already have enough shit going on in my own head. I have my own life, and I’m trying to figure that out — and now you’re telling me I’m supposed to figure out everyone else’s life too? Why the fuck would I need that?

I treat every person with respect as long as they treat me with respect, respect my boundaries, and don’t disrespect what I consider sacred.

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, or anything else — I’ll treat you like I would any other human being.

But if you lack basic manners, ethics, the ability to communicate respectfully, or emotional maturity, then don’t expect me to welcome you with open arms. At the very least, I’ll avoid you. And if you cross my boundaries, I will respond — sometimes very harshly.

BLAIRE WHITE it was a dig at you 🫪

And Terrible continued:

What is there even left to talk about?

He’s literally saying that I’m spreading hate. Apparently, saying that I respect every person and simply don’t want to get involved in other people’s personal lives, identities, or beliefs that have nothing to do with me is, in their eyes, “spreading hate.”

If THAT is what counts as spreading hate, then I’m honestly not surprised they call me a Nazi.

I wish you all the best in life. It’s going to be very difficult living with a worldview like that, where everyone around you is somehow an enemy.

And apparently, I’m fucking Adolf Hitler at this point.

To which Terrible stated:

So you come to my shows just to “support” me? Or do you come because you actually love my music? I’m confused. Am I your kid performing at a school play who needs you to show up and support me?

I fight bare-knuckle. Do you really think I need your support?

I want to see FANS at my shows — people who genuinely love my music — not people who are just there because they feel like they need to “support” us.

And why the fuck am I supposed to publicly support someone just because there are negative comments online? Am I responsible for every single one of my fans? For their personal beliefs and worldview?

Who else am I supposed to support? Israel? Palestine? Ukraine? Please, give me the full fucking list of everyone I’m required to publicly support, just in case somebody leaves another shitty comment about someone under one of my posts.

I’ve made my position very clear: I respect every person who treats me with respect. I’m against war and violence. I make music, and I genuinely don’t give a fuck what your personal beliefs are.

But don’t come into my personal space and try to impose your rules, values, or beliefs on me. Deal with your own personal life yourself.

Everyone deserves love, and trans too.

Even if I raised your flag above my head, you would still say I’m a Nazi and that I’m only doing it so I can keep playing shows in the West.

I constantly see people saying, “Go watch his interviews in Russian. He openly says he never changed his neo-Nazi views and that he’s just pretending.”

When I read comments like that, I don’t even laugh anymore. It honestly scares me how stupid people can be — and how many people actually believe this shit without even thinking for themselves.

I would rather play in front of 100 people who think before they speak and have some critical thinking skills than bend over backwards for 10,000 idiots who are ready to believe absolutely anything and expect me to dance to their tune.

Period.

Then, Alex Terrible continued the conversation in his instagram stories.

You know what? I never think that way actually and I act like that because I can’t defend myself and I don’t mind if I have a lot of hate in the internet, I just know how to deal with it, you know? Because I’m dealing with it for fucking 10 years already and all this shit and like as I said before I can stand for myself and my family, you know, but actually this man or girl, I don’t know Is right because a lot of people got bullied because of my fucking posture and how I am act and A lot of people start to attack them and I don’t want to be honest. I Don’t want it at all and I didn’t think about that because I judge on myself you know because I can defend myself and I was like it’s not a problem.

So fuck all of this drama, fuck this post I just deleted it.And I truly want to bring peace with my music and bring motivation to be stronger and to be better version of yourself and protectpeople who cannot protect themselves.And I don’t want to be that guy who post something and affect this fucking negative bully fucking people attacking each other or some shit like that.I don’t want this drama at all.I just defending myself, guys, because I don’t understand this hate about myself, you know.But I get this.I think he’s right or she’s right.

And about me, about my family, my wife, my kid, and I’m not getting upset. Guys, listen, to offend me, you have to try very hard. I’m a very chill guy, and if you call me something, or you call me on the internet, or you fucking try to attack my family on the internet, it will not work. If you try to attack me in real life and my family, I’ll fucking kill you. but not in the internet because internet is not real life. And I’m guessing that not for everybody.

And a lot of people got bullied like in internet and I get it because I have thick skin. It doesn’t mean everybody has thick skin, you know? So I totally get it and I don’t wanna like provoke someone.
