It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood, and Alex Terrible is arguing with a bear. The Slaughter To Prevail frontman is standing shirtless and tattooed on a suburban street corner in Los Angeles, confronting a grizzly that stands nearly three metres tall. Suddenly, he begins grappling with the beast, burrowing into its thick brown fur.
The bear and the Russian-born singer stagger in a death-grip on the sidewalk until the monster shoves Alex down onto a neatly trimmed lawn. That’s when a tall, blond figure appears behind the bear. This is Alexander Volkov, a Russian UFC heavyweight fighter. Volkov taps the animal on a shoulder, and it runs away in terror.
