PRIESTESS To Release 'Prior To The Fire' In October

September 3, 2009

Montreal's PRIESTESS will release its sophomore album, "Prior To The Fire", in Canada on October 20 via Indica Records/Red Ink. The punishing eleven-song effort was recorded in Los Angeles in the fall of 2008 and produced by Dave Schiffman (SYSTEM OF A DOWN, NINE INCH NAILS, MARS VOLTA).

Since its formation back in 2003, PRIESTESS has become one of Canada's most successful hard rock bands, and an international force to be reckoned with. The band released its debut, "Hello Master", back in 2006 and since then has spent most of its time on the road touring with heavy hitters like MEGADETH, MOTÖRHEAD, MASTADON, GWAR and participating in several high-profile events such as Heavy MTL with IRON MAIDEN, Festival d'Èté de Québec with STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, and Monsters of Rock/Ozzfest with OZZY OSBOURNE, just to name a few.

PRIESTESS' profile skyrocketed when the band's song "Lay Down" was featured in the smash-hit videogame Guitar Hero, earning them a legion of new fans. Their music has also been heard in the HBO series "Entourage", "Friday Night Lights" and it was recently announced that their new song "Raccoon Eyes" will be on the upcoming EA Sports' NHL 10. Their two singles, "Lay Down" and "Talk To Her", also became top 15 hits at rock radio across Canada.

01. Ladykiller
02. Raccoon Eyes
03. The Firebird
04. Murphy's Law
05. The Gem
06. Communicating Via-Eyes
07. Lunar

PRIESTESS will be hopping back into their van and doing a cross-Canadian tour in support of this release in November. Tour dates will be announced on September 14.
