Priest is a British Heavy Metal band that formed in Birmingham, England in 1969. They were one of the pioneering bands preceding the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' movement. The original lineup included guitarist John Perry, bassist Bruno Stapenhill, drummer John Partridge, and singer Al Atkins. Over the years, the band underwent several lineup changes and additions.

In 1970, Kenneth Downing and Ian Hill joined as guitarists to replace previous members. Drummers John Ellis and Chris Campbell later replaced Partridge. In 1973, Rob Halford became the new lead vocalist while John Hinch took over on drums. This lineup released a compilation album featuring songs from their last show with Atkins and Campbell as well as three tracks from Halford and Hinch's first performance.

A second guitarist named Glenn Tipton was added to the line-up in 1974. Between their formation and 1980, Priest went through various drummers before Dave Holland joined in early 1980 until his departure in 1988. Scott Travis then joined as their drummer in mid-1990.

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! 

Here’s a short description that was stated during it’s 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 Söderberg (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 it’s 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!
