Prophet is the debut album by the hard-rock band Prophet, released on 14 August 1985 through Total Experience Records. On 21 September album was released in Japan.

Production

"Prophet" is the only album to feature lead vocalist Dean Fasano and drummer Ted Poley. The latter joined Danger Danger as a lead vocalist two years later.

The album was recorded within six months: from January to June 1985. The musicians recorded for a month in each studio.

"Prophet" sold well in Europe, and after that the band released the single "Everything You Are (to Me)", for which a music video was soon shot. However, despite the fact that Fasano sang in the video, he actually performed only half of the songs: the tracks "Heart of the Night", "It's Real" and "Listen to Ya'" were performed by Poley, and "Slow Down" — by bassist Scott Metaxas.
