Mystic Prophecy is a power metal band from Germany. Their sound is described as roaring hard and melodic, similar to American power metal bands such as Iced Earth, due to their melodic riffing and powerful drumming.

The album begins with “Metal Division,” a fist-pumping anthem in which the drum rolls into an intense guitar melody with a siren ambience. The music is tight, and the vocals are impressive. While they’re not clear on this track, the gravel gives the singer some character. The guitar solo begins with rousing chants and leads into an anthemic solo peppered with guitar sweeps that increase in frequency as the song rolls on. It’s a promising start to an intense, hard-hitting album.
