We're a melodic heavy metal band from Rhode Island! Please help us to support the Rhode Island heavy metal scene! Contact us for more info!
As of 2005, we broke up. Deal.Band/artist history
A Blind Prophecy started off with Dave Laurent (Rhythm Guitar), Jeremy Martin (Lead Guitar), Kevin Maples (Drums), and Tim Carriere (vocals) around April of 2003. Ben Fortier (Currently rhythm guitar) stepped up to the plate to join bass, but somehow (Don't ask how) he got the position of replacing Tim on vocals. The band created a song using Fortier's lyrics and the Laurent/Martin's guitar work to make "Welcome to Reality", their first real song.
Fortier recruited an awesome bass player, Kyle Siner (bass) and the band was complete, creating their second song "Under the Weeping Moon". The band got Jesse Smith (current vocals) to do harmonizing vocals with Fortier, and it sounded awesome.
Anyways, you're probably confused right now so let's cut this short. Ben Fortier (Rhythm/Lead guitar), Jeremy Martin (Lead/Rhythm guitar), Dave Laurent (Bass), Kevin Maples (Drums), and no vocalist for the time being, make A Blind Prophecy. With thrash influences like Megadeth, Early Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, they mix these fast, rapid sounds with melodic sounds from Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, and Iced Earth, to create a sound only few can emulate. Their sole purpose is to create heavy metal that one can enjoy, but learn from.Have you performed in front of an audience?We've played at the High School a couple times. It wasn't bad. We won the Battle of the Bands. The Living Room was a decent show for us, also. Jarrod's Place is a pretty nice venue.
Your musical influences
Pretty much anything that's heavy and melodic. Lyrics that provoke emotions, espacially fear, anger, and pain. Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden, Testament, Slayer, Megadeth, Children of Bodom, Norther, The Black Dahlia Murder, Arch Enemy...we have a lot of influences!What equipment do you use?
We are a low budget band that uses low budget equipment. :(metal88girl's station
