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, then 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 is officially endorsed by Jackson
Guitars as of Feb 2000! "It Shall Come To Pass"
has been officially 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. 2003 saw
the 8th release, a 2nd 7” split. Prophecy
members are Eric “BiggiE” Croson (bass/vocals),
