Priestess - Prior To The Fire

Kind of a disapointment of an album. Sure they've gotten "louder and heavier" in certain aspects, they've also become bland and linear, seemingly completely ditching there bluesy influenced roots. The album sadly just borders between mediocre and boring at times. Outside of repeating the energy of "Lady Killer" three times, they change into something far more bland before the energetic sound unwelcomes itself. Theres promise in gem, but is hampered by the uninteresting slow part which i guess is suppose to have some kind of arabian sound, but just is boring. Atleast the faster riff of that song is somewhat bearable, but could have definetly used more variety. Things kind of meander then until track 9, where things seem to pick up again where track three left off.

Not even a shadow of what Hello Master Is!

What a great delighful album with powerfull riffs and rich harmony. The "garage" kind of production add to it the real deal in something honest and raw. We are not talking about fast, furious and technically on your face. It just really breath and it's is very enjoyable today. The choce of melody for the singing, the guitars riff and the groove is here to make it a very good band to follow closely in the futur. Love it !!
