Steel Prophet Biography
The psychedelia-tinged metal outfit Steel Prophet was formed in
Connecticut in the late '80s by guitarist Steve Kachinsky Blakmoor and
vocalist Gary Stocking; the original rhythm section featured bassist
Wayne Faircloth and drummer Harry Blackwell, the son of jazz drummer Ed
Blackwell. Blackwell soon departed owing to the poor quality of his
drum kit and was replaced by John J.T. Tarascio; Stocking, meanwhile,
was kicked out after erratic, alcohol-fueled behavior. Blakmoor and
Tarascio moved to California in 1988, where they recruited bassist
Vince Dennis, vocalist Scott Lindsenbardt, and second guitarist Domenic
Chavira. Lindsenbardt was soon given the boot in favor of ex-Ascendance
singer Nick Mantis. Unfortunately, Mantis' drug problems led to his
being replaced by Rick Mythiasin (who once spent several days as an
early member of Pantera), while Chavira's place was taken by Jon Paget.
Steel Prophet hit the studios to record a demo and gigged extensively
around L.A. from 1990-1992, after which Paget was replaced by Horacio
Colmenares. The band signed a deal with the Foundations 2000 label;
although they never released an album for the label, a demo titled The
Goddess Principle was eventually issued in Europe in 1995. After a
five-song EP in 1996, Continuum, both Tarascio and Colmenares left,
with the latter going on to form New Eden. Their places were taken by
drummer Pete Parada and guitarist Jon Pons, respectively. Into the Void
(Hallucinogenic Conception) was released in 1997, after which Steel
Prophet signed with Nuclear Blast. Their label debut, Dark
Hallucinations, appeared in 1999, and the band toured Europe in
support. Before the 2000 release of the follow-up, Messiah, Parada
left, and Kevin Cafferty was recruited as a temporary studio
replacement; Karl Rosqvist eventually joined as the full-time drummer.
Pons also departed after the album's release and was replaced by Jim
Williams. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
