Prophecy began in 1991 in Shreveport, LA. James Parks II (guitars/vocals) met a couple of other musicians and started jamming together, then decided to form a band. James chose PROPHECY as the name, then after playing in the Shreveport area for over 3 years, the 4 members decided to part ways because they didn't want to get any heavier than the "Thrash/Speed Metal" style that PROPHECY was at that time. About 6 months passed before James met Joe "Boogie" Dunlap (guitars) and they decided to move to the D/FW, Texas area to reform PROPHECY as BRUTAL DEATH METAL in 1995. Phil Holland was brought in for lead guttural duty. PROPHECY has since gone through line up changes to complete the reformation. PROPHECY began writing new material for their debut 5-song EP "It Shall Come to Pass", which was self-released on cassette in March 1996. In March of 1997 PROPHECY self-released 2-song promo cassette for promotion of their debut full length CD, "Foretold...Foreseen", which was released by Corpse Gristle Records in October 1998. PROPHECY is preparing to release their second full length c.d., "Our Domain" also on Corpse Gristle Records! PROPHECY is officially endorsed by Jackson Guitars as of Feb 2000!!!!!!! Billy Bonsal is on drums as of September 2000. Joseph Fontenot, formerly of Acid Bath, is now on bass/vocals as of 11-11-00! PROPHECY IS NOW A 4 MEMBER BAND! (At least until the other guitarist position is filled) This brings them to where PROPHECY is today! With awards and endorsements under their belts and numerous major U.S. festivals/tours played/to be played, PROPHECY has proven they are here to stay!
Their album "Our Domain" was never released by Corpse Gristle and in March 2002 they signed a new deal with Forever Underground Records.
