Prophecy Z 14
Prophecy Z14 originally formed in Melbourne Florida in the fall of 2008 by Damien (drums),
Justin (guitars/vocals), and Ant (bass/vocals) as "Algorithm". They wrote 6 songs of brutal, 7
string, technical, deathcore and played a couple of shows as a 3 piece while searching for a
2nd guitarist to complete the lineup. In April of 2009 that guitarist would come in the form of
Dan Cannon.
Dan jumped in the hot seat and played a handful of shows starting 3 weeks
after joining the band. During which the band also got into Dans home studio where they
recorded a short demo CD. The band took a break in the fall of 2009 to write new material,
and record a stronger, full length CD.
It was apparent that now complete the band was
heading in a slightly different direction and some short-comings were starting to emerge,
with the name, lyrics, and bass lines. The guys faced a tough decision to part ways with long
time friend, and band member Ant. After his departure the band wrote new lyrics, Dan took
over the second vocal duties once held by Ant, and they changed the name to Prophecy Z14.
2010:
Prophecy Z14 started steam rolling ahead writing several new songs and recording a
powerful full length CD (scheduled to be released in the fall of 2010). Things seemed headed
in the right direction, and on an unstoppable course when news came down that long time
member and friend Justin Buell (guitar/vocals) was being relocated by his job and had to
leave the band.
Down but not out, Damien and Dan decided to keep it going and find a new
guitarist and bassist to once again complete the band.
They have kept working on the CD,
and kept writing new songs during the search. The highly technical nature of the music made
the search difficult, but a few gems have come along, and the band is getting back on track.
Getting the most out of the down time, they have been working on their web presence,
designing merchandise, and getting their gear in order. So once the band is complete again,
Prophecy Z14 will hit the ground running.
