  "The  Prophecy"  begins  with  bass  leads  and  drums  along  with  some  deep  growls  kicking  in  shortly  after  that  and  a  few  seconds  guitar  riffs  and  leads  become  a  part  of  the  song  which  leads  to  a  faster  direction  along  with  some  blast  beats  and  high  pitched  screams

  Song  lyrics  cover  violent,  hateful  and  gore  themes,  while  the  production  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  the  album.

  In  my  opinion  Navalm  are  a  very  great  sounding  heavy  and  brutal  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out t his  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Cemetery  Administration"  "An  Evil  Time"  "Slut  Hanging  On  Hook"  and  "Strain  Of  Mind".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
