LAS VEGAS, NV - April 4th, 2026 - Russia’s heavy hitters, Slaughter to Prevail, came back to North America for a US run with two Canada dates this spring, and they didn't come alone. Supporting the band on their tour is Knoxville deathcore band Whitechapel and metalcore band Attila from Atlanta, Georgia.
The trio of bands played at Brooklyn Bowl to a sold out crowd that I was able to attend and take some photos.
ATTILA – Attila made their first visit back to Las Vegas eight years later after their 2018 incident at the Hard Rock Live (now the Hard Rock Café) which had an altercation with security, leading to a lawsuit – then to a ban. It is unclear if this ban still remains in effect as the band was able to perform here in Las Vegas at Brooklyn Bowl.
Attila played an eight-song set with a variety that spanned from all over their discography including their new album Concrete Throne that was released on March 20, 2026 while also playing fan favorites like "About That Life," "Middle Fingers Up" and "Proving Grounds."
Even after all these years of Attila not being in Las Vegas to perform, there is still a strong, loyal and dedicated fanbase that moshed and crowdsurfed to their songs.
WHITECHAPEL – Knoxville deathcore group Whitechapel returned to Las Vegas after previously playing at Brooklyn Bowl supporting Lorna Shore’s 2024 North American tour.
An incredibly dark atmosphere surrounded the entirety of the venue with this band’s presence, with the lighting turning a full 180 to accommodate the band’s music, and it was a 1-to-1 match. Whitechapel played a lengthy set of thirteen songs, lots of new and lots of old and, of course, lots of breakdowns.
Vocalist Phil Bozeman absolutely crushed it with his extremely low gutterals to his ear-piercing high screeches. This is a vocalist that has withstood the test of time and is a respected vocalist in the scene.
Brooklyn Bowl might as well have been called Mosh Bowl during the band’s set cause it was relentless chaos throughout.
SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL – Russia’s demolishers were back in the City of Sin after being the supporting act on Falling In Reverse’s 2025 North American tour. Slaughter to Prevail being back after seven months proves that their fanbase across the country is compelling.
While this tour is not technically in celebration of their newly released record Grizzly that came out on July 18, 2025 through Sumerian Records, the band has played a couple new songs from that record - "Bandits," "Russian Grizzly In America" and "Koschei" – to name a few.
If a fan isn’t moshing while Slaughter to Prevail is playing, they are recording on their phones, and if they’re not recording, they are definitely screaming their lungs out.
By the time the band started playing, the venue was completely packed out from the front, to the side and all the way to back and the balcony.
Vocalist Alex Terrible’s stage presence continues to be powerful from start to finish, being able to perform and projecting that kind of vocal power half the set with a mask is an incredible feat. His voice is so powerful that I was able to hear him even without a microphone, you can find videos of examples online.
They ended their set with an encore, "Demolisher" – it demolished. Alex has this performative gimmick he does with "Demolisher" at every show since the song has debuted where the lyric “DEMOLISHER” is vocally projected with the music cut and no microphone.
I hope to see Slaughter to Prevail back in Las Vegas soon. As this show was completely sold out and resale ticket prices were through the roof, I have a great feeling they’ll be back soon enough.
