Dear Prophecy family,

as this year’s gathering in Balve gradually draws closer, we invite you to become acquainted with the artists who will shape Prophecy Fest 2026 into a particularly memorable chapter. Join us in welcoming them on the road to Balve Cave!

INTRODUCING THE ARTISTS:
AARON STAINTHORPE, MARK DEEKS & JO QUAIL
– PERFORM SONGS OF MY DYING BRIDE, ARÐ, & JO QUAIL –

Bringing together three voices of emotive music, Aaron Stainthorpe, Mark Deeks, and Jo Quail unite for a unique performance at Prophecy Fest.

Aaron Stainthorpe, known for his unmistakable voice from High Parasite and his former works with MY DYING BRIDE, has shaped the emotional language of doom metal for more than three decades. In collaboration with composer Mark Deeks, widely admired for his work with Arð, and internationally acclaimed cellist Jo Quail, this special performance presents selected works in an exciting and new collaborative context.

Expect interpretations of songs from MY DYING BRIDE, ARÐ and JO QUAIL’s REPERTOIRE, brought to life through the combined artistic vision of these three distinctive musicians.

Within the Balve Cave, a collaboration promising a deeply atmospheric experience shaped by emotion and musical sensitivity will await you. Be prepared. ... See MoreSee Less

EUROPE!!! I love you. Thank you for such a beautiful few weeks 🥰

I see this as a kind of mini triumph - for an artist with ‘no fixed genre’, often ‘hard to place’… and yet, together, we did it! If being difficult to define is what it takes to meet audiences like you every night, then I’ll happily stay that way. Sign me up!

As I often say (usually at length, mid-concert!), it takes a lot of people to make a solo tour happen. I have the deepest gratitude to so many incredible people; my wonderful agents at Atonal Music Agency, our brilliant promoters, my superhero tour manager Fed, Kunal (CHAOS THEORY) back home fielding socials, my beautiful family, but most of all, thank you to every single one of you who showed up 🙏💞 You blew my expectations sky high and made me want to write more music, wilder music, crazy music, I’m already starting!! 🎶🎶

12,299 km expertly driven (not by me!), 17 concerts - each one totally unique. From concert halls to old school gig venues, every single one was a privilege to play 🙏❤️‍🔥

Lots more to say, but I’ll be sharing more in the coming days.

Much love,
Jo xxx

"Quail was able to embrace the heavy, the hard, the vulnerable and the feather-light all at the same time while for over an hour she locked the audience into a world where it's okay for things to take time. Where it's good for things to take time. She gave us a break that everyone should treat themselves to, and where colors and moods and sounds were allowed to flow freely"

Thank you to Devilution for this review of my recent concert at Spillestedet Stengade in Copenhagen ❤ Only 5 dates left on my EU tour, it's flown by so fast!

I'll put the full review below xx
