PROPHECY

Prophecy began in 1991 in Shreveport, LA. James Parks II (guitars/vocals/drums) met a couple of other musicians and started jamming together, then decided to form a band. James chose PROPHECY as the name. A logo concept was decided and then drawn by Mike Wilson who was also the other guitarist of PROPHECY at that time. After playing in the Shreveport area for over 3 years, the 4 members decided to part ways. About 6 months passed before James met Joe "Boogie" Dunlap (guitar) and they decided to move to the D/FW, Texas area to reform PROPHECY as BRUTAL DEATH METAL in 1995. PROPHECY began writing new material for their debut 5-song EP "It Shall Come to Pass", (released by Prophecy Records on cassette in March 1996). In March of 1997 a 2-song promo was released by Prophecy Records on cassette for promotion of their debut full-length CD, "Foretold.Foreseen", which was released by Prophecy Records in October 1998. James Parks II was officially endorsed by Jackson Guitars on Feb 2000! "It Shall Come To Pass" has been re-released on PROPHECY Records as of September 3rd, 2001. PROPHECY released their 2nd full-length c.d. "Our Domain" on Shindy Productions (Czech Republic) on 7-7-02. And 2003 saw the 8th release, a 2nd 7" split. PROPHECY is diligently working on new material for their 3rd official full-length release, "DONT FUCKIN' MESS WITH TEXAS"! This brings them to where PROPHECY is today! With awards and endorsements under their belt and numerous major U.S. / EUROPEAN festivals / tours played and coming, PROPHECY has proven they are here to stay!
