It took a little longer than I'm sure the band would've preferred, but Priestess are finally set to drop their sophomore record, Prior To The Fire.

By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) July 30, 2009 3:50 pm
A night later, my ears are still ringing from the relentless aural assault of Priestess' free show at one of Montreal's smallest of dank pits.

Well, this video will probably piss PETA off. Priestess don tons of fur (singer/guitarist Mikey Heppner is actually wearing a bear head) in the video for Prior To The Fire's "LadyKiller," which also features plenty of taxidermied animals and dead birds. I can hear Ingrid Newkirk screaming right now. A video hasn't been this...

By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) October 30, 2009 1:10 pm
Montreal's Priestess built a loyal cult following through their high energy and rocking live shows after the release of their acclaimed Hello Master debut, and supported a diverse list of bands from Dinosaur Jr. to Motorhead to Mastodon. While Priestess were riding a wave of momentum, the logical thing would've been to go into the studio and...
