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 "Boogie" (guitarist) 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 2/2000 to 6/2005. "It Shall Come To Pass" was re-released on PROPHECY Records September 3rd, 2001. PROPHECY released their 2nd full-length c.d. "Our Domain" on Shindy Productions (Czech Republic) 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!
