PROPHECY

Biography

     PROPHECY began in 1991 in Shreveport, LA (U.S.).  James Parks II (guitars/bass/vocals/drums) met a couple of other musicians and started jamming together and decided to form a band.  James chose PROPHECY as the name.  James had a conceptual design idea for the band name logo and Mike Wilson was the artist that drew the band name logo.  Mike was also the 2^nd guitarist of PROPHECY for the following 3 years.  After playing in the Shreveport/Bossier City, LA area for more than 3 years, the 4 members decided to part ways.  About 6 months passed before James met Joe "Boogie" Dunlap (guitarist).  They decided to move to the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area and reform PROPHECY.  Soon thereafter, Phil Holland joined as lead vocalist.  PROPHECY became a TeXas brutal Death Metal (TXDM) band in 1995. 

     PROPHECY began writing new material for their debut 5-song EP
 "It Shall Come to Pass”.  It was released by Prophecy Records (which James created, owns, and operates) on cassette in March of 1996.  In March of 1997, a 2-song promo was released by Prophecy Records on cassette for promotion of their debut full length c.d., "Foretold...Foreseen".  Prophecy Records released “Foretold…Foreseen” on 10-28-98.  “Foretold…Foreseen” was re-released by Prophecy Records on c.d. in 2013.  The "It Shall Come To Pass" full length c.d., was released by Prophecy Records on 9-3-01.  PROPHECY’s 2^nd full length c.d. "Our Domain", was released by Prophecy Records and Shindy Productions (Czech Republic) on 7-7-02.  And 2003 seen the bands 8^th release, a 2^nd European 7" split.
