[4] The band has had numerous line-up changes over the years, with vocalist Alex Terrible and guitarist Jack Simmons as the sole consistent members.

Jack Simmons was a member of London-based deathcore act Acrania, while Alex Terrible (Aleksandr Shikolay) had gained a cult following online for his vocal covers on YouTube.

Terrible was also a member of the Russian deathcore act We Are Obscurity, which disbanded after failing to find a record label.

[9] Dimitry Mamedov left the band before Sumerian Records signed them, and was replaced by Simmons' former bandmate in Acrania Sam Baker.

[11] Slaughter to Prevail was also invited to join Suicide Silence on their 10th anniversary tour of their album The Cleansing and was set to perform in the USA and Canada in November and December 2017.

In 2018, Whitechapel invited Slaughter to Prevail to join their Ten Years of Exile tour alongside Chelsea Grin and Oceano.

In an interview on 30 November 2021, Terrible expressed dissatisfaction with the band's deal with Sumerian Records, attributing it to being "in a fool's paradise" when they started, and to signing without legal advisors.

On 26 February 2022, the band released a statement on Facebook condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine which began two days earlier.

Terrible issued another statement on behalf of the band via Instagram and Youtube on March 1, also urging viewers to "not make the whole Russian people an accomplice".

[30] Kostolom marked a stylistic shift, with reviewers noting influence from nu metal such as Slipknot's Iowa.
