From their upcoming EP ‘Primordial Instinct’ due to be released on November the 1st and previously reviewed by yours truly on both Burgstudio and The Metalist, Cape Town based Death Metal coven The Fallen Prophets have unveiled their latest single ‘Beneath The Veil Of Flesh’. Be ready to be torn asunder by the smoldering single and music video this Friday.
Opening with a baroque guitar overture and proceeding to mow all down all in its orbit with a blistering confluence of crushing Death Metal, ‘Beneath The Veil Of Flesh’ takes no prisoners as it surges ahead on a double kick fueled exercise in immaculately executed Brutal Death Metal. Stitched together with technical flourishes, fiery riffs and fierce vocals this vitriolic track barely stops for a breath as it concocts a maelstrom of dual lead infused theatrics.
Featuring Pieter Pietrese on vocals, Francois Van Der Merwe on Rhythm Guitar and Backing vocals, Daniel Louw on Lead Guitar, Marc Olwage on Bass Guitar and Dylan Haupt on Drums, this ferocious fivesome are veterans of their craft and specialise in the type of turbulent and menacing Death Metal that will undoubtedly appeal to anyone who has a penchant for Origin, Nile, Devangelic, Unmerciful, Marasmus, Flesh Consumed and Hate Eternal.
Wrapped in a robust production, this punishing piece of sonic artillery is akin to a battlefield where the weapons of warfare are the very instrumentation that sew this scorching track together with murderous intent. Prepare to be incinerated.
