Behead the Prophet, No Lord Shall Live, sometimes shortened to Behead The Prophet N.L.S.L., was a hardcore punk band from the mid 1990s.

Joshua Plague and Jon "Quitty" Quittner were both members of Olympia, Washington's Mukilteo Fairies; when that band broke up around 1994, they gathered together a group of musicians from Olympia, Bellingham and Seattle to form Behead The Prophet, No Lord Shall Live. BTPNLSL's name is taken from a Deicide song, and was given to them by a death metal enthusiast in a supermarket, claiming to be the younger brother of Deicide's lead singer, Glen Benton. Members were Joshua, vocals and lyrics, Jon on bass, Dave Harvey playing guitar, saxophone and feedback, Jordan Rain on drums and Michael Griffen on violin. They released their first 8 song 7" single on Outpunk Records in 1995. In 1996, they played the Dirty Bird Queercore Festival in San Francisco where they made an impression and garnered many new fans. They subsequently released their only full length CD/album I Am That Great And Fiery Force, a split release on Outpunk and Olympia based K Records. Two more 7" records followed. The first was a split single with Joe Preston's one man band Thrones, on the label Voice of the Sky where each band did their own rendition of Blue Öyster Cult songs. Their last 7" release, on the Sound Pollution label, was entitled "Making Craters Where Buildings Stood."
