Let’s play a quick game: Wolfmother is to Australia as Priestess is to…Canada. The Montreal band one of a few is helping to give me the feeling that retro metal is coming back into fashion. There’s always been something about stoner rock that gets me down. It tends to seem far less melodic at times than a good old fashioned solid rock song. That’s where Priestess come into play. The band jams hard while incorporating gruntless, tight vocals. But who am I to say anything about hard rockin’, right? Well, the band toured with Motörhead and were voted Montreal’s Heaviest Act by the Montreal Mirror… seems I’m not cat on the block who thinks they’re rad.
