The Prophecy 23 is a Thrash Metal band from the area of Heilbronn in southern Germany. Founded in 2002, they started off with covering bands like Slayer, Metallica and Iron Maiden.

In 2005 they self-published a first album titled "No Future For the Dead", on which they still played a rather slow Heavy Metal with some Doom-influences.

Afterwards the band met some line-up changes, which introduced new bass-player and singer Tobias. He brought new Death Metal-elements into the band's sound, and thus they developed their own style, which they called Brutal Thrash Metal.

In this line-up they published a new EP, called "Immortal Attitude". With this CD and the new style, they quickly enlarged their regional fanbase, also due to their live activities.

In 2010 the band made a huge step up the ladder: They signed a deal with Massacre Records, who will release the new album "...To the Pit" worldwide on July 17.
