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.
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 re-formation. 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. "It Shall Come To Pass" has been officially re-released on PROPHECY Records & Corpse Gristle Records as of September 3rd, 2001.

After a few lineup changes Billy Bonsal was added on drums as of September 2000 and Burt Buchanan was added on bass as of November 2001. This is the current lineup as it is today. Now with a complete and secure lineup it was time to start working on their second release "Our Domain".

Prophecy was now ready to record and began looking for a new label. After several offers from different labels the choice was made to sign to Forever Underground Records. After signing the band Prophecy was immediately sent into the studio to record. After almost a month in the studio "Our Domain" was finished. "Our Domain" will bring Prophecy worlwide attention. They have truly evolved over the years as musicians. This CD is much tighter, more technical, more brutal and has a much better production than anything they have ever done before.

Grindethic Records have negotiated a deal with cult death metal band PROPHECY to release their new album at the end of the year. The Texan slam merchants will begin recording after they return from their current tour with ROTTENNESS and CARNAL DECAY.

The new album,the band's first in 5 years, will be titled 'Don't Fuckin' Mess With Texas' and will feature artwork by the prolific Tony Koehl (Enthrallment, Abysmal Torment, Infernal Revulsion, etc).
