Mystic Prophecy/Best Of Prophecy Years/Massacre Records Digital Compilation Review


  Mystic  Prophecy  are  a  band  from  Germany  that  plays  a  mixture  of  power  and  thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  compilation  "Best  Of  Prophecy  Years"  which  was  released  by  Massacre  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  power  and  thrash  metal  together  to create  a  sound  of their  own  with  some  melody,  soft  and  clean  playing  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  power/heavy  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  clean  singing  power  metal  vocals  with  some  more  aggressive  extreme  metal  elements  being  utilized  at  times  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  deep  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness,  satanic  and  occult  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Mystic  Prophecy  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  power  and  thrash  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Eyes  Of  The  Devil"  "Across  The  Gates  Of  Hell"  "Satanic  Curses"  and  "Evil  Empire".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
