Alex Terrible, frontman of Slaughter To Prevail, has released his full deathcore vocal cover of Korn's 1998 metal single 'Freak on a Leash,' Metal Injection reported on August 13. He first teased the cover in July, when it drew support from Korn guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch. The cover is now part of the release calendar for August.
The cover arrives as Slaughter To Prevail prepare for a North American tour starting in September in Houston, with Rev3rent opening. That pairing has drawn some backlash online, with fans of Rev3rent objecting to the tour after past allegations of Nazism and other problematic material connected to Slaughter To Prevail.
The tour's roughly three-month run also stops at two major festivals along the way: Sacramento's Aftershock on October 2 and Birmingham's Furnace Fest on October 11, before the band moves into a run of Canadian dates.
Slaughter To Prevail's North American run begins September 10 in Houston and continues through November, with a handful of South American dates added for December. The tour follows the band through cities including Dallas, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Toronto and São Paulo before wrapping in Bogotá in mid-December.
