South African Death Metal titans The Fallen Prophets are gearing up to release their new EP Primordial Instinct on Friday 1 November.

Formed in Cape Town in 2013. 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.

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.

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.

It was a great pleasure to have the Guitarist “Francois Van Der Merwe” on the Interview to speak on the new EP and much on The Fallen Prophets, Check out the complete coverage on the below YouTube Video.
