Bone Prophet hails from Knoxville, TN and was formed by Vocalist/Guitarist-Eddie Moles. Bone Prophet brings to the table an explosive hard-hitting Hard Rock/Metal sound that is comprised of 80's & 90's era infusions mixed into a modern day sound. Bone Prophet delivers the goods while meeting the expectations of the traditional Metal head all the while appealing to the needs of the modern day Rocker. The band isn't new on the Metal scene already having 3 full-length releases to their credit including their 2010 self-titled disc, their followup sophomore 2012 'Unleaded' album, and the band's third 2017 'The Circus' release.
The original lineup for Bone Prophet was comprised of Vocalist/Guitarist-Eddie Moles, Lead Guitarist-Brian Settle, Bassist-Randall Timko, and Drummer-Roy Clemmer. In 2016 there was a few changes to the line up with Bassist-Randall Timko being replaced by Bassist-Kent Kirby, and Guitarist-Jacob Allen(Wisdoms Call) replacing Guitarist-Brian Settle. Brian took a sabbatical from the ministry and Jacob stepped in to fill the position. For their latest release "The Circus", Brian recorded the lead parts on "Just Like You", 'Burn it Down", "On Your Mind", "Father" and "Come To Me". Jacob recorded the last 5 "Money", "The King is Coming", "Just like You", "The Circus" and "Miracle Man". It has been said that Brian will be returning to the band to unleash a duo guitar assault with none other than shredder-Jacob Allen.
When asked what is the meaning behind the band's moniker? Eddie Moles responded with the following explanation: Ezekiel 37. The Valley of Dry Bones. To help lift the dead in Christ by speaking/singing life into them and expanding the kingdom of heaven. Ezekiel was known as the "Prophet of the dry bones". I just flipped it around to Bone Prophet. Some people understand the meaning right away. Others just think, its a name. Its still biblical but at the same time if you are not knowledgeable of the bible you probably wouldn't know. Which is one reason I stuck with it. A lot of rockers will not listen to "Christian Rock" if they know its "Christian Rock". So I think it lets us slide in the back a little and sneak a little Jesus on them:)
Since the launch of the group’s self-titled album, the band has been featured at some of Christian Rock’s largest festivals and events, including three appearances at the Ichthus Festival in Wilmore, KY and the Cornerstone festival in Bushnell, IL. The group is also enjoying international success with concerts in Ontario, Canada. The band has had the honor of sharing the stage with well known bands such as, Place Of Skulls, Thousand Foot Krutch, Disciple, King James, Fireflight, Seventh Day Slumber and Stellar Kart to name a few. Even though the band has seen some success this isn't the reason behind their touring as Moles explains: “We aren’t out there just to give a rock concert”,explains Moles, “More importantly than songs, God gives us messages and it’s our honor to share His message with everyone”.

In 2017 Bone Prophet released their third full-length album titled 'The Circus'. With this release, the band comes out swinging with a fresh hard hitting full-on assault. One thing that quickly draws attention is the difference in the band's overall sound between their debut self-titled release and their latest. The band's sound was tight on their debut release however, on this third release the sound has been taken to a new level and even sounding like a new band. Yes, the band's sound is bigger, tighter, heavier and well deserving of props for the production.
'The Circus' was recorded at Lakeside Studio Knoxville Tn. and produced by Travis Wyrick. Travis has a long list of accomplishments in Christian Rock and several Dove Awards. He has worked with, produced, and engineered bands like P.O.D, Pillar, Disciple, TFK and more. This is another independent release for the band with Eddie Moles having the following to say about the bands current indie status: "Not against a label just haven't been offered the right deal":)
The Circus is a solid album from beginning to end however there are some tracks that stand out like "Your The Reason", "The Circus", "Miracle Man", "On Your Mind", "Just Like You", "Come To Me", and "Father".
Eddie Moles gives some insight behind the album's artwork: I wanted it to be a little edgy to attract attention to how weird/crazy this world is getting. The song "Money" talks about how people are turning bad to good and good to bad. The title track says we have the choice to be in this Circus (of this world) or not. Hopefully we will choose to be "not of this world", as the song goes. The world needs to understand what the blood of Jesus Christ offers them. And understand that being covered by the blood is our only hope for salvation.

The lyrics are uplifting and point toward our Lord and Savior as one can see here:
"The King Is Coming"
Ive been a loser-but not today, you've washed my sins away
The things that were are not the same, And now Im not afraid
(chorus)
I want to lift you up and I want to lay it all down
I want to lift you up and I want to lay sin down
There is a King that's coming and I gotta lift the pain and sin outta my life.
I used to play-with things that killed, but now Ive pulled away
I used to hurt-the ones who cared, but now Im here to stay
(chorus)
I want to lift you up and I want to lay it all down
I want to lift you up and I want to lay sin down
There is a King that's coming and I gotta lift the pain and sin outta my life.
(bridge)
Gotta grab the storm,
gonna walk the walk another day,
gotta face the King,
gonna live to do it all another day
(2nd chorus)
I live to walk and talk a better way,
I know I’ll make it through another day.
Please take me higher than Ive ever been, coming down just brings it all back again.
In you I face this world again, inside I feel the love that changes my life
I wanna lay sin down
Ive been a loser-but not today, you've washed my sins away
The things that were are not the same, And now Im not afraid
(chorus)
I want to lift you up and I want to lay it all down
I want to lift you up and I want to lay sin down
There is a King that's coming and I gotta lift the pain and sin outta my life.
I used to play-with things that killed, but now Ive pulled away
I used to hurt-the ones who cared, but now Im here to stay
(chorus)
I want to lift you up and I want to lay it all down
I want to lift you up and I want to lay sin down
There is a King that's coming and I gotta lift the pain and sin outta my life.

I wanna lay sin down
