New Album “Savage Gods” via Rockshots Records Out Jan 19th
American power metallers SONIC PROPHECY are set to unleash their third full length “Savage Gods” via Rockshots Records on January 19, 2018. Featuring 10 fist pounding tracks rooted in traditional heavy metal melded with the symphonic beauty of power metal, SONIC PROPHECY capture the excitement and sound of such bands as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Hammerfall and Kamelot while blending other musical styles to arrive at a sound all their own.
The band’s new music video and first single “Night Terror” can be viewed at the following link:
Vocalist Shane Provstgaard comments:
“We think our fans will love this album! Savage Gods, as a record, basically combines all of the things I think people liked about our previous releases and then moves us forward into new areas musically and lyrically. For our fans, there will be no mistaking this is Sonic Prophecy, but we definitely cover some new exciting ground on this record.”
“Savage Gods” follows SONIC PROPHECY‘s 2015 sophomore release “Apocalyptic Promenade” (Maple Metal Records), an album that combined the melody and beauty of symphonic power metal while maintaining the crunch, drive and power of traditional metal plus their 2011 debut “A Divine Act of War”, which had its music placed in the television series “Rock n’ Lock”, the video game “Volgarr the Viking” and movie Danny Trejo’s “Vengeance”.
The upcoming release lyrically covers many topics, from quests and medieval wars, to mechanized genocide, to the dangers associated with extremist ideologies. Broadening and stretching their musical palate, “Savage Gods” will give fans an adventurous listening experience. It’s an album that combines melodic hard rock, driving heavy metal, and chest pounding anthems in a way that is uniquely Sonic Prophecy.
“This is pure heavy metal with driving guitars, thundering drums, and some of what I feel is my best vocal work to date. With songs “Night Terror, “Unholy Blood” and the album title track, we’ve really laid down a brutal sonic backdrop, along with keeping the melody, which is important to our music.” adds vocalist Shane Provstgaard
“Savage Gods” is available for pre-order on Amazon along with single “Night Terror” available for download on iTunes and Amazon.
Following “Savage Gods” release, SONIC PROPHECY has plans to hit the road and tour across North America, Europe and beyond. The band has performed with Tyr, Alestorm, Ratt, Cinderella, Accept and Sabaton.

“Overall there are pockets of people that love traditional power metal not focused on speed and virtuosity but rather setting moods and exploring mid-tempo, epic, and/or slower textures. Sonic Prophecy is different than the norm, and for that be applauded.” – Dead Rhetoric
“With their member arsenal as a unified, creative force, Sonic Prophecy make music for people who appreciate good production value and technical prowess. Their music blends their individual styles into a chugging, epic blast of American metal with no shortage of solos or grandiose and tasteful choruses. ” – Slug Mag
” the sweeping guitar solos could rival the big lead-breaks on any major label Power Metal release.” – My Global Mind
“Heavy/Power Metal with grand ambitions and enough rocking riffs to fill a house. Think a mixture of Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Manowar, Blind Guardian, etc. The songs are rousing and catchy…Sonic Prophecy have released an impressive and ambitious 73 minute album chock full of Power/Heavy Metal goodness. Highly recommended.” – Wonderbox Metal (Review Apocalyptic Promenade)
“The debut album from Utah’s Sonic Prophecy, “A Divine Act of War” is a full on power metal assault featuring soaring vocals, blazing guitars, and symphonic keys driven at full throttle by the pounding rhythm section. The album was written by the band as a true celebration of all things metal and as such encompasses many metal styles ranging from the heavy, anthemic fist pounding roar of “Heavy Artillery” to the folk-metal glory of “A Warriors Destiny”, or the dark majesty of the title track. From front to back the album truly represents all that is Sonic Prophecy style power metal!” – Metal Rules (Review A Divine Act of War)
