Their sound is described as hard and melodic, similar to American power metal bands such as Iced Earth, due to their melodic riffing and powerful drumming. The band was formed in 2000 by Valley's Eve bandmates R.D. Liapakis and Martin Albrecht. Gus G was recommended to them by David T. Chastain and played all guitars on the three first albums, but left in 2005 in order to spend more time on his own band Firewind. Since then the band had several changes in its line-up with singer R.D. Liapakis and guitarist Markus Pohl who has joined the band in 2005, being the only long-time members.

The band's latest line-up includes bass player Joey Roxx and drummer Hanno Kerstan. In August 2017 the band announced new guitar player Evan K. Since 2001 the band has released 11 albums. Their 9th album War Brigade, released in 2016 with Massacre Records was up to that time the best selling album of the band, containing some of their best known songs like 'Metal Brigade', 'The Crucifix', 'Burning Out' and 'War Panzer'.

In January 2018 the band released Monuments Uncovered, an album containing metal covers of famous rock hits of the 70s and 80s like 'You Keep Me Hangin' On' (Kim Wilde/The Supremes), 'Shadow on the Wall' (Mike Oldfield), 'I'm Still Standing' (Elton John), 'Because the Night' (Patti Smith) etc.

The Sign of the Cross
Mystic Prophecy Lyrics

Close your eyes
Can you hear me in the dark
I see angels in black
Visions of fire
Visions of pain
Whipped by the past
And you bleeding inside!

Only then
You will realize what you have done

I've seen visions of power
And rumors of war

The sign of the cross
It's a sign to your soul
The sign of the cross
It's a sign to remind
It's a sign to survive
The sign of the cross

Im the one who created your dreams
And im the one that steals them
Give me your hand and let me take you to places
Full of darkness and pain
