PRIESTESS - PRIOR TO THE FIRE (LP)

After numerous false starts that were beyond the band’s control, Priestess spent the fall of 2008 in Los Angeles under the watchful guise of producer David Schinn (System Of A Down, Mars Volta, Nine Inch Nails), recording this, their crowning achievement, Prior To The Fire. If their calling card Hello Master was considered lethal, this sophomore effort easily trumps it with a devastating display of power and a new found sense of innovation that will have other so-called metal bands nipping at their heels. On every track the band remains hungry, fierce and focused throughout with their signature melodic elements still in check, but this time around they also scale to new lofty heights and let their progressive rock and hard psych tendencies add to the dynamics, density and drama.
