Exclusive Song: New Music From Priestess
MP3
Priestess
It's been three years since fire-breathing quartet Priestess released their last album, 2006's Hello Master. Now they're back, and if new track "Ladykiller" is any indication, the Montrealers want blood.
Taken from the upcoming Prior to the Fire, due in February, "Ladykiller" is a thrashy tale of revenge against a serial killer, highlighted by some seriously slicing guitar solos and precise riffing.
"We set out to write a theme song for Jack the Ripper," explains Priestess frontman Mikey Heppner. "We knew there was plenty of competition in the songs-about-serial- killers field -- Judas Priest did 'The Ripper' and Iron Maiden did 'Murders in the Rue Morgue' -- but I think we took things into our own realm."

sounds great!
I'm really looking forward to seeing priestess play tonight here in toronto. i've only seen them play once before and it was at the vice party here in toronto around 2004 or 2005 and i was bombed (hence the approximate date) and as a result can't remember a hell of a lot about the show. plus their touring mates trigger effect kick ass!

This is killer material! I loved the first album but i have a feeling, based on what i've heard so far, that the new album is going to smoke the first one.

I saw Priestess in Toronto on the weekend and the album doesn't even do them justice - See this band live every chance you get!!! A better start to a show I don't recall. Amazing!!
