British progressive doom metallers THE PROPHECY check in with the following update:

"The Prophecy are currently in the studio recording Into The Light' - the follow-up to their 2006 opus revelations.

Recording is taking place at Priory Studios in Sutton Colefields and is being produced and engineered by Greg Chandler of ESOTERIC fame.

The album consists of eight tracks and promises to be the heaviest and most technical album the band have produced so far (and of course with a heavy dose of emotional soundscapes, deep rooted conviction and immense riffage the band are renowned for).

The album's realease date has not yet been finalized as artwork is still in progress with Gary Griffith's (MORGION) handling the production of the CD package. However comments from Gary suggest the cover will be going for the epic visual surreal look as ith the previous two albums ashes and revelations.

Songs from the demo to Into The Light can be heard on the bands MySpace with a studio report to be added soon. The band are also to be interviewed by Ragnarok Radio station regarding the making of the new album.

The band have also made available some live footage from the April 2008 tour on their Last FM site and will be producing a studio report to be published on the MySpace and website.

In the meantime The Prophecy's previous releases are available from all good record stores through phd/prosonic distribution, CDbaby. net, Amazon and from the band directly at www. the-prophecy. net .

In preparation for the album's release the band are still on the look out for some street team help.

The band still have 30,000 flyers to distribute so anyone that can drop a few in their local metal venue or CD shop or to passing mettellers please get in touch and we'll throw in some Prophecy goodies."
