After being sold out for almost a year, the classic album New Flesh by Swedish synth-wizards Priest at last gets a long awaited reissue!
Heres a short description that was stated during its original release in 2017:
New Flesh is inhaling smog from the 80s and blowing smoke rings into a neon lit future. Believing in spiritual awakening through technology, Priest makes you transcend safely to reach the ultimate goal - the merging with machines. Album producer Simon Sˆderberg (Alpha/ ex Ghost member) have worked with the band to perfect their sound. There is modern touch with a retro vibe over the entire album. New Flesh contains a total of ten tracks that that brings 2017 back to the 80s.
Now, in 2023, Priest (with ex-Ghost members) is a globally touring band that have an ever-growing cult following with thousands of records sold and millions of streams worldwide. Later songs like A Signal in the Noise have been on Hollywood movie soundtracks and Priest have a vast amount of fans in both metal- and electrohead communities.
After almost 6 years since its original release, New Flesh has become a milestone in the synthpop/industrial genre. It will finally hit the stores again this fall, so we say (as the David Cronenberg movie Videodrome quotes) - long live the New Flesh!
