I can't wait to get feedback for the new album, because the expectations are high. I'm 100% sure that we won't disappoint any fan with WAR BRIGADE! Yes, the cat’s out of the bag, the new album's called War Brigade!”

Mystic Prophecy have announced the cancellation of their participation in the Orden Ogan tour, due to organizational issues.

Says the band: “This decision didn't come easy at all. We hope and thank for your understanding.”

Mystic Prophecy will be performing a single show in Israel for the first time alongside bands Desert, Winter’s Verge and Switchblade. This show will be taking place on April 23rd at Gagarin Club, Tel Aviv. This will be Mystic Prophecy’s first performance in Israel and there is no doubt that they will conquer it. Their 2009 Fireangel proved to be a turning point for this force and their career.
