PRIESTESS: 'Ladykiller' Video Released

February 4, 2010

"Ladykiller", the new video from the Montreal-based hard rock band PRIESTESS, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed on location in the band's hometown with director David Valiquette and centers on "a slayer, an artist's demesure and sacrifice for art's sake" while a live human version of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon slowly comes "to life." The song comes off the group's sophomore album, "Prior To The Fire", which was released on February 2 via New York City's Tee Pee Records.

"Prior To The Fire" was recorded in Los Angeles with producer David Schiffman (SYSTEM OF A DOWN, THE MARS VOLTA, NINE INCH NAILS) and it "underlines PRIESTESS' hard-hitting songwriting, memorable hooks and earth-shaking ability to rock," according to a press release. The long-awaited follow up to 2006's critically acclaimed debut "Hello Master" sees PRIESTESS at once hungry, fierce and focused. The record's majestic power merges titanic riffs, memorable metal, progressive rock and hard psych elements with the powerful, expressive vocals of Mikey Heppner to create an album that will floor heavy music fans.

"It wasn't the easiest record to make," says Heppner, "but the hard work definitely paid off and we're really, really proud of the end result. We've done so much touring and seen so much since our first record that it only galvanized our feelings of what the band is. The songs that make up 'Prior to the Fire' were meant to be heard live and loud. We can't wait to get out on tour again and really do them justice!"
