Moonlight Prophecy is a phenomenal band I have discovered online about a few days ago with their latest full-length album; The Arrival, which was released not long ago on March 30, 2019. Honestly, The Arrival is one of the very few most impressive albums that I come across lately. The band is showing great potential with their musical ideas, progressive compositions, power, energy, and of course with their creativity. The general style is heavily influenced by black, death, progressive, heavy, and power metal, by names such as Opeth, Iced Earth, Testament, and Blind Guardian. The whole album is like an exceptional mix of all these brilliant pioneers. None of the ideas, sections, or songs are standard. I wasn’t expecting to hear something this, to be honest. There are so many things I liked about The Arrival, but what impressed me the most was their authentic musical ideas and progressions. Hands down. They have done an amazing job in this way.

The songs usually contain monstrous guitar riffage, galloping along with some exceptional drumming. Besides all these factors I have mentioned above, Moonlight Prophecy is also showing their advanced musicianship skills on this album. When you take a closer look at their compositions, you will see how complex everything is. And this is what I call, intelligent songwriting. This album certainly is a masterpiece with heavy traditional metal influence that will immediately pull listeners into its world. Exceptional job.

Technically, The Arrival is a monstrous sounding metal album. I can’t say it has the best possible standards, but it has a specific sound which definitely will satisfy its listeners. The brutal energy is overflowing in almost every song and flowing all through the way perfectly. The producer has done a very specific job for Moonlight Prophecy. It is not that clean or clear, but the harmony in the sound is excellent. Every time I listen to records like this I start thinking of them playing these songs live on a big stage. That would be something to see.

When I take all these into account, I’d like to say that I am blown away by the standards of this phenomenal album. Moonlight Prophecy has the potential to become an important name from their state without a doubt. I believe that The Arrival is an album which doesn’t have an expiration date, and will make the band proud of all their lives.
