 Conquer, like everything Max, the new King Midas, touches is gold, is anger, power, protest, aggression, rebellion, insurgence, guerrilla warfare in the form of ethnic thrash metal and tropical hardcore, an evolutionary process of the Tribe Soulfly that has experienced various facets from the tribalism of the eponymous debut album (twin brother of the epoch-making "Roots" by Sepultura) to Max's renewed passion for that sound halfway between "Arise" and "Chaos A.D." which characterized "Dark Ages."

 "Prophecy" is a fundamental chapter in the Soulfly saga, not only because of the extremely positive nature of the work carried out by Max Cavalera's Tribe, but also from a symbolic point of view.
