WOM Features – The Fallen Prophets – “Beneath The Veil Of Flesh” From Upcoming EP “Primordial Instinct”
South Africa’s Death Metal Titans The Fallen Prophets are set to unleash their new EP ‘Primordial Instinct’ on Friday 1 November. Formed in Cape Town in 2013 by Francois van der Merwe and Pieter Pieterse, the band has become renowned for their commitment to the dark and aggressive roots of Death Metal. Their music channels themes of malcontent, catastrophe, and relentless fury, standing as a testament to their belief that Death Metal is not just music but a way of life.
‘Primordial Instinct’ marks a significant evolution in their sound. Drawing inspiration from Classical and Baroque music, the EP introduces a fresh layer of complexity and sophistication to their brutal sound. Listeners can expect intricate elements such as diminished runs, arpeggiated solos, and neo-classical licks, showcased in the Baroque classical guitar intro of ‘Beneath The Veil Of Flesh’. These additions are woven seamlessly with the essential Death Metal components – tremolo picking, blast beats, and powerful chugging riffs – creating a unique and compelling listening experience.
The EP acts as a prequel to their previous album ‘Perpetual Damnation’, continuing the dark narrative established by the ominous figure featured on the artwork. The lyrics delve into the origins of this entity, exploring the offerings made to summon it into existence.
The first single from ‘Beneath The Veil Of Flesh’ is available on music streaming platforms from Friday 4 October, with the music video for your checking below, providing a taste of the EP’s intricate fusion of styles.
