THE PROPHECY began in 2001 when John Bennett and Greg O’Shea met up with vocalist Matt Lawson one bleak and grey evening in The Empress pub, Bradford. Two weeks later THE PROPHECY had recorded a demo CD Her Embrace, My Ruin at Performance Studios.
From this point on the band decided to get serious and spent six months enclaved in their practice studio. The result of this was the To End All Hope demo which, although far from perfect, still stood high above the crowd of doom metal wannabe hopefuls. It was this demo CD that secured the band its place on the first DOOMINATION OF EUROPE tour with Mourning Beloveth and the now defunct Relapse artists Morgion. It was for the start of this tour that the band released their Ashes debut CD and this was quickly picked up by local label Black Doom Records (fronted by Hamish and Andy of My Dying Bride). This was just in time for the band to embark upon their most audacious exploit yet… THE DOOMINATION OF AMERICA. This was a month long tour, coast to coast, as far south as Austin, Texas and as far north as Portland, Oregon. Few states were left untouched by the Doomination cavalcade…
With this grueling tour of America under their belts who was better placed to support My Dying Bride on their Halloween 2003 tour than THE PROPHECY? Playing to sold out crowds at the London Astoria, Utrecht’s Tivoli and Antwerp’s Hof der Loo. The tour was a resounding success and nicely rounded off the year for the band.

Not to mention they are absolutely superb live, the vocals are pulled off flawlessly as is the entire instrumental side of things, watch the videos on youtube. It's really nice to see a band who pulls it off live as well as these guys
