Dear friends and supporters,

Hope the new year is treating you well so far! We've been been busy little ants and with inhuman effort we have plowed through turmoil and hardships in order to manifest what is truly the core of Priest - the art and the music. Nothing else matters.

It's surely easy to get lost in the weird winds of the world, new trends, what social media platform you should use and so forth and so on. We see a lot of anxiety and insecurity online who struggle with handling the tech-tools at our hands - yet some fellow artists handle it masterfully with seemingly an undying source of energy! Although we're envyously in awe of these skilled individuals, we have to capitulate to the fact that Priest is not Duracell-rabbits that can be all over the place all the time. We are more of the brooding kind, creating our own island - our own untouched sanctuary for you to enjoy with a larger emotional impact, than if we spill all the milk on you beforehand.

But we really don't have to say that - you know us! Anyways, what's been brooding is the new EP and the slight possibility that it can turn into an album. We still haven't decided, but please let us know your thoughts! Would 'CHAOS INC' replace 'CHAOS EP' as title and so forth? We'll see... The album for next year is going forward in the writing process as well and we're beyond stoked to start the realisation of the next era!

We have also finished a new cover for Cleopatra Records, but still haven't decided if it's gonna be released there or not. It was a request from them and the song would not have seen the light of day without them, so we'll give you more news about that shortly. It's Black Hole Sun with Soundgarden.

But most important of all - keep your head high and embrace life with open arms. We're gonna get through it all but it's not gonna be easy. Visualize your future on your mind's retina and gradually steer your actions towards it, little by little you'll get there. Never give up!

Also - looking forward to see you all on this year's summer festivals in EU/UK! Resistanz in Sheffield, Hellfest in France, Brutal Assault in Czech Republic and of course Dark Malta. Hopefully we'll have some cool surprises for you!

Once again - we're immensly grateful for your support - It makes what we do a lot easier and we hope that you see that we're not lazy. On the contrary - you help us increase, accelerate and take our creativity to new places. Thank you for being on this ride with us!

Best wishes,

//pM
