Country: United Kingdom
I waited for the album of THE PROPHECY very long time. I was impatient because I knew, that the team plays Doom Metal. My impatience strengthened by the fact, that THE PROPHECY come from United Kingdom – the cradle of Doom Metal. Moreover there is the next significant thing, the drummer of THE PROPHECY – John Bennett was session musician of MY DYING BRIDE… These all factors caused, that THE PROPHECY moves magnificently in doom metal climates.
“Into The Light” is the third album of the band. And of course from the beginning I had associating with MY DYING BRIDE or with ANATHEMA (older albums). The music of the band is the powerful, monumental and crushing force. This music has two faces. The first face of “Into The Light” has the very heavy and dynamic guitar riffs, the deep and monstrous growling as well as the crushing percussive hits. The second face of the composition has the gentle melodies, the clean guitar passages and the very nostalgic singing. These faces are changing adroitly in time of the music and create simultaneously the heavy and dark climate full of aggression as well as the melancholic of exultations.
During the listening of the album you can experience a something in kind of ambivalence – the simultaneous feeling of opposite feelings – in case of THE PROPHECY – they are an aggression, an anger and an alleviation or a sadness. This is the proof, that THE PROPHECY is able to manipulation of the listener's emotions and lets the listener feel a madness (mainly in the time of the death metal's breaths) as well as a deep despair.
The album “Into The Light” is closed by the beautiful and nostalgic phrase played on the cello… Now I know I will listen THE PROPHECY many times…
