New Jersey Rockers PROPHET's self-titled 1985 debut album, released on the Total Experience imprint, made waves on the international melodic Rock scene. PROPHET brought in former SURGIN vocalist Russell Arcara for the follow up 'Cycle Of The Moon' effort, supplanting original singer Dean Fasano. The band also drafted drummer Michael Sterlacci who took over from Ted Poley on the second album. Poley had quit PROPHET following a row and swiftly hooked up with DANGER DANGER and BONE MACHINE taking a frontman's role.

A third album, entitled 'Recycled', emerged in 1991 with a line-up of Arcara, Ken Dubman, Scott Metaxas, Joe Zujkowski, Dave Dipietro on guitar and Jim Callahan on drums. Karl Cochran, later to team up with Arcara in the modestly titled ARCARA played acoustic guitar on the cover of DAN HARTMAN's 'Sides' and supplies backing vocals alongside fellow New Jerseyites like LYNCH MOB's Robert Mason.

Metaxas took a musical left turn to join noted Thrashers NUCLEAR ASSAULT. In early 2005 Russell Arcara announced a new band project billed THE WAY in union with INTRUDER guitarist Stephen DeAcutis and keyboard player Charlie Calv, the latter a scene veteran of SHOTGUN SYMPHONY, SKIN TAG and THE BRONX CASKET CO. UK label Z Records re-issued both 'Cycle Of The Moon' and 'Recycled' in June 2005.

In later years band members Russell Arcara, Ken Dubman, Scott Metaxas and Jim Callahan forged a tribute band entitled EDGAR CAYCE (a renowned "prophet").
