 With
the album „Savage Souls“ Mystic Prophecy has topped all the hopes
and expectations of their fans. After Gus G. (Firewind) and Dennis
Ekdahl (Raise Hell) finally decided to dedicate themselves to their
main-bands, turning their backs to Mystic Prophecy, there have been
a lot of fans and journalists declaring the time of the band should
be over from now on. With a big bang by releasing “Savage Souls” the
band proved everyone unmistakably obvious that “dead-said live
longer”. After euphoric reviews a wide-spread and successfully
European Tour as headliner was following.Never before in the bandhistory Mystic Prophecy entered the stages for so many times like after the release of “Savage Souls”. The highlights have been the performances at the big festivals like Metal Camp, Rock-Hard Festival, Bang Your Head, Earthshaker, Deichbrand, Metal Days or at the Metal Healing-Festival. And what comes now ? Trying to say it with an explanation out the football-scene: “to become a champion is easy, but to remain a champion is quite difficult”. The pressure on Mystic Prophecy is the highest ever. All the experts are expecting big things happening – but with the album “Satanic Curses” the band do not need to hide at all.  Not less writers share the opinion “that “Satanic Curses” will be more than only a worthy successor of the smasher “Savage Souls” “ (Quotation of Frank Albrecht / Rock Hard). With “Satanic Curses” Mystic Prophecy continue their way fearlessly. Without any compromises one riff-attack after the other will conquer consequently all the places for keyboards other unnecessarily experiments. “Made complete out of iron” - and no quotation would fit more perfect to the new concoction of the German / Greek quintet. Like for “Savage Souls” again R.D. Liapakis and sound guru Fredrik Nordstrm (In Flames, Hammerfall, Arch Enemy etc) have been responsible for the production and they guarantee that “Satanic Curses” will be a soundhappening for all the fans of the hard and guitar-oriented music. The new silverling of the “Prophets” will offer not only an outstanding sound but also a musically variation like never before on another album. Beside arrow-fast grenades like “Damnation”, “Back From The Dark” or the massive “Dark Forces” there are genius midtempo-tracks like “Sacrifice Me” or the diabolous “Demon’s Blood”. As a little “gimmick” there is the Black Sabbath / Ozzy – evergreen “Paranoid” waiting for the fans. The world has been waiting for a smashing Metal-Opus and Mystic Prophecy will serve it with “Satanic Curses”.
