New York's burgeoning psych-metal/weird-rock purveyors Tee Pee Records (Iron Age, Witch, Night Horse) have announced the recent signing of Montreal's Priestess for the February 2010 U.S. release of their sophomore album, Prior to the Fire (out now in Canada.) The long-awaited follow-up to 2006's acclaimed debut Hello Master (featuring the ubiquitous hit "Lay Down,") Prior finds the Thin Lizzy-worshiping foursome expanding their take on epic, challenging (and occasionally proggy) boogie-metal, circa 2009. Like Valient Thorr without the nudge-nudge, wink-winks, Priestess approach 70s-era rock and metal with a steel-eyed, blue-collar earnestness. At SXSW this year, dudes fought to the teeth to show every sweaty, beer-breathed hesher in attendance that the four Canucks who (unfortunately) got lumped in with Wolfmother and the Darkness can simply outplay everybody else.
Make the jump to sneak a peek at Prior's spacey, psyched out cover art and limited tour dates.
