The Fallen Prophets is a 5-piece Death Metal band from Cape Town South Africa, the band was started by founding members Francois van der Merwe and Pieter Pieterse in 2013 and officially launched the band in 2014.

The members have undertaken an oath with death itself, belting out notions of malcontent, catastrophe, decay and relentless fury that together fester on the pillars of Death Metal. The members maintain that Death Metal is a way of life and the culmination of instruments and lyrics behind their aggressive style of death metal floods their persona’s with bleeding emotions that the crowd can relate to. While the historical musical interests of each member are unique, at some point along the track this Death Metal train bellowed its calling, beckoning an alliance between like-minded musicians. Musical influences include: Aborted, Bloodbath, Cannibal Corpse, Dyscarnate, Hypocrisy, Nile and Vader.
