The Prophecy 23/Green Machine Laser Beam/Massacre Records/2012 CD Review


  The  Prophecy  23  are  a  band  from  Germany  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with  a  musical  style  that  I  would  describe  as  being  skater  thrash  with  a  blackened  and  death  metal  edge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Green  Machine  Laser  Beam"  which  was  released  by  Massacre  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  skater  thrash  riffs  that  combine  influences  from  black  and  death  metal  with  a  good  amount  of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  in  addition  there  is  a  brief  use  of  surf  music  style  riffs,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  guitar  solos  and  leads  when  they  are  utilized,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  full chords  to  add  a  sense  of  humor  to  the  music

  Vocals range  from  80's  style  thrash  vocals  mixed  in  with  some  deep  death  metal  growls  and  high pitched  black  metal  screams  as  well  as  some  spoken  word  parts,  clean singing  power/thrash  vocals and  pig  sequels,  while  the  lyrics  cover  everyday themes,  drinking  thrashing  and  moshing,  as  for the  production  it has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  recording  from  The  Prophecy  23  and  if  you  are  a f an  of  this band,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Dont  Step  Back" "Green  Machine  Laser  Beam"  "No  Beer-What  A  Mess"  and  "Princess  Of  Gorleben".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
