Sound: A modern version of classic, hard-drving metal - riffs ranging from blistering to bluesy and sleazy to sludgy, vocals that rip and growl, sing-along hooks that soar above the onslaught.
Playlist Partners: Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Danzig, AC/DC, Queens of The Stone Age, Soundgarden, Fu Manchu
Heavy Rotation tracks: “Blood”; “Two Kids”
Medium Rotation tracks: “Lay Down”; “I Am the Night, Colour Me Black”; “Run Home”
Explicit Lyrics*: none
Recommended: If you like guitar-and-hook-heavy rock that’s equally suited for the arena and open-road driving. You can hear Priestess’ influences, but they expertly attack an impressive range of styles on Hello Master and establish themselves as a premier metal band for this millennium.
Grade: B+
* Noting of explicit lyrics is for the benefit of radio music directors or anyone else that needs/wants to keep their music FCC-friendly.
Nice review! This band kicks so much ass!
