South Africa's death metal force The Fallen Prophets will unleash their new EP Primordial Instinct on November 1. We're streaming the band's debut single from the EP "Beneath The Veil Of Flesh" alongside a music video shot and edited by Calvin de Swardt. If you're in the mood for some neoclassical death metal in the vein of Fleshgod Apocalypse (sans the orchestra), this one's for you!
"Much of the music written for our Primordial Instinct EP takes inspiration from Classical and Baroque music, as evident in the Baroque classical guitar intro in 'Beneath The Veil Of Flesh'," wrote The Fallen Prophets of the single.
"We incorporated elements such as diminished runs, arpeggiated solos, neo-classical licks, and melodic themes to highlight this style, while still maintaining the essence of Death Metal with tremolo picking, blast beats, and powerful chugging riffs. The lyrical content acts as a prequel to our previous album, 'Perpetual Damnation', featuring the same dark figure on this EP’s artwork. The lyrics tell the story of how this entity came into existence and the offerings made to bring it into the world."
Pre-orders for Primordial Instinct are available here.
