Prophecy was a Californian metal band and Cirith Ungol’s little brother band. Jim Barraza played guitars in this band before he joined Cirith Ungol. He was member from 1985/86 to 1987. They often toured with or warmed up for Cirith Ungol. They are being thanked in the cover for King of the Dead and One Foot in Hell, while Tim Baker, Flint and Cirith Ungol are being thanked in the Prophecy’s white tape demo.

- Several news outlets and social media platforms have referred to Cirith Ungol as part of a double-pack team alongside their supporting band—whether it’s a sister band, partner band, or “little brother” band. Whenever Cirith Ungol is in the news, their allied band is always mentioned right next to them. If you could choose one band for Cirith Ungol to team up with, which band would it be?
Interview with PROPHECY
by The Metal Master Cardinal Correspondent
There’s a hot local band named PROPHECY. I recently did an interview with the bassist, THE CRUSHER.
MM: How did you get started.
C: I started playing drums when I was nine, then switched over to bass when I was fifteen. Started the band PROPHECY in 1980 with the original band members Scott Cambell on vocals, Mark Dole on guitar, and Howard (Punky) Bailey on drums. We got a new guitar player, his name is Jim Barraza, and he’s been in the band since January of this year.
MM: Which bands are you most influenced by?
C: Black Sabbath, Kiss, I was a big Kiss fan, Alice Cooper, and Deep Purple. Those kinds of bands.
MM: What is your band currently doing at the moment?
C: Well, we’ve been working on some demos, been working on an album that should be released by March of next year. Playing a lot of gigs, playing on Halloween in Oxnard at the Channel Island Cinema, were working a new songs, and working on our stage show.
MM: What do you see in the future for your band?
C: I see more gigs, more songs, hopefully we’ll get signed to a record label, hopefully my business will improve. Hopefully everything will look up.
MM: Is there any local hands that you know or look up to?
C: Well, there’s a few local rockers. Cirith Ungol are good friends, have been very supportive of the band since we started. We played with then just about every album they released. We’ll be playing with them on Halloween, of this year, to support their new albus, ONE FOOT IN HELL. Cirith Ungols been around for a long time, so we owe a lot to then, especially Vocalist, Tim Baker and Bassist Flint.
MM: When people come to a PROPHECY show, what should they expect to see?
C: Pure unadulterated mayhem, in other words, people saying they hat us, or they love as, No one will just say they’re O.K..
BEYOND THE GRAVE
Just when you thought they were gone, they come back.
PROPHECY a band who’s gone through more drummers than Uriah Heep, is back one again to make your ears bleed. This time with a few changes, better songs better stage show and most important of all, new members.
On guitar is Jim Barraza from Kansas City, who replaced original fretster Marc Dole. Next theres Scott Cambell lead vocalist in Prophecy since the bands formation in October 1980. On drums is Howard (Punky) Bailey, who is the bands original drummer but left in April 1982 to pursue other interest. Then theres Kurt Grothe on bass whos been there forever.
If your looking for pretty boys with more make up on than there sister, keep looking.
Prophecy are more of a seventies heavy metal band, still reling on that (larger than life) attitude. They play music in the same tradition as Kiss, Dio, and Ozzy with a good stage show and good material. Mostly working in the studio on new demos, Prophecy is also getting ready for a upcoming showcase with Cirith Ungol in suport of there new album One Foot In Hell.
When asked how come there back, Scott said “were like a disease we may go away for awhile but you never get rid of us for good).
Näm Säläd is Säläd Män, Calvin said of it: I worked at Straw Hat Pizza with Curtis Grothe of Prophecy during 1982-1984. There was a crazy homeless guy who used to come in the pizza restaurant. There was an all you could eat salad bar. The crazy homeless guy would order a salad often. He became salad man. When music was being played backwards to try to justify satanic tendencies, we decided to use the Nam Dalas phrase which is salad man spelled backwards. It started to gain popularity and during shows we would yell out Nam Dalas as an inside joke.
Buena High is Buena High School. And Buena was short for San Buenaventura, better known as Ventura.
