Style
Prey offers a unique sound – the sound of heartfelt music - inspired by the widely differing tastes of individual band members. Imagine a hybrid of New Wave, Gothic Rock & Doom Metal with a Progressive touch. The keywords in Prey’s music are melody, melancholy and bombast. The lyrics contain reflections on real experiences and emotions, and the music itself breathes life into those beautifully sung lyrics.
Live
Live on stage Prey excels; the music is passionately played and the band is in its element on stage. Prey’s live shows have always been praised for being an emotional experience and for being strong performances. The last few years, Prey has had the honour to grace the stage alongside bands such as: Anathema, Moonspell, Epica, Autumn, Sengir, The Wounded, Morning and Leaves' Eyes.
Astray
In 2004, Prey released an album, Heartfelt. This album has been very well received by fans and critics alike. Prey has frequently been compared with bands like Anathema, Katatonia and The Wounded.
In 2007, Prey released Astray, a MCD containing three tracks. Prey has succeeded to deliver a product with strong, compact songs. The media on Astray:
Gothtronic.com (7.4 / 10): “…This band is just pretty damn good. So are the songs, the lyrics and the overall feel Prey has. Light some incense, a black candle, close the curtains and your eyes and enjoy!”
Zwaremetalen.com (-/-): “For everyone who loves melancholic music or just good old-fashioned Dutch quality music this is certainly a recommendation. A delightful, dark, musical tour…”
MusicFromNL (-/-): “‘Astray’ [is] a strong EP, that will surely please the lovers of atmospheric, doomy rock. We dream away and hope that we will quickly receive a new full-lenght album.”
