Mute Prophet have meticulously crafted a unique new wave of symphonic metal, hailed by critics as "first-of-its-kind" (Metal-Horizons). This sound begins with the familiar soundscapes first explored by bands like Nightwish or Epica, then ramps up the intensity to levels the genre has never seen before.
This is achieved by adding shredding guitar solos that would be at home in Children of Bodom or Dragonforce, as well as the grooving polyrhythms and crushing riffs of djent bands like Periphery, and the crystalline math rock stylings of bands like Polyphia and CHON.
The result is a perfect blend of beautifully cinematic soundscapes, blazing-fast solos, mercilessly technical riffing, and a vocalist whose stylings range from high soprano opera to rock-styled belting to brutal death growls.
