Alex Terrible’s business gets buried, but not his spirit

Author Benedetta Baldin - 16.8.2025

A few weeks ago, Alex Terrible, the singer of the Russian deathcore band Slaughter To Prevail and a budding bareknuckle boxer, suffered a significant setback when the building where he was storing his mask and merchandise production company in his home country of Russia collapsed. Although none of his employees were hurt, the facility and its contents suffered significant damage. Terrible has said that he has temporarily shuttered his merchandise store while he attempts to reopen it in a new location after spending a few weeks analyzing the losses and considering his options.

Dear friends, supporters, and fans of our culture,

First of all, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your patience and understanding during this challenging time.

As some of you may remember, the old building where we produced our masks collapsed. Thankfully, no one was injured — but our entire workshop was destroyed. Every mask we had prepared for shipping was lost, along with all of our equipment, ventilation systems, and tools.

Since May, we’ve been working hard to fulfill many orders, aiming to clear our backlog by July. But life had other plans.

The good news is: we have already secured a new space and are doing everything possible to restore production quickly so we can get back to making and shipping masks! We’re deeply touched that, despite these difficulties, so many of you continued placing orders to support us.

To be fair to all our customers, we’ve decided to temporarily pause new orders until we can get back on track. Crafting each mask is a highly detailed and labor-intensive process — everything is made by hand — and we’re working to streamline production.

Going forward, we plan to sell masks only when they are ready in stock. This way, once you place your order, we can ship it within two business days. Shipping from Russia to other countries typically takes 7–14 days, and we use the fastest affordable shipping option available.

We are proud to say that for the quality of our handmade masks, our prices are the most competitive on the market. We’ve researched other markets extensively, and we’re confident this is the best value for you.

Thank you once again for your incredible support. We aim to be back in just one month — stronger than ever!

With gratitude,
Alexterriblewear Team
