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!
