Hailing from Salatiga, Central Jawa, Death Prophecy are yet another band from the everflowing current of slamming brutal death metal bands coming from Indonesia. Armed with the crushing riffs and blastbeats, they bring to our attention an era long gone – Japanese Meijin Restoration.That itself was a reason enough to get in touch with Aryo to ask a few questions about the band and album.
