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,

You guys are far from lazy! The amount of work y'all put into this operation, especially as independent artists with a small team, is impressive as hell! I do like the idea of CHAOS INC., though I'm curious what the concept of the project would be to warrant the ideal title! Looking forward to the reveal! Keep on keeping on, as the automated voice in Death Stranding says ^^ ImI

CHAOS INC sounds badass, i second that name.

I believe it must have been a period of time but I'm also sure this will bring amazing results such as the new EP or album! And yes, after all, you are not robots or Duracell rabbits and you need some time to take a rest. I hope you'll have some time off and enjoy it! CHAOS INC sounds good to me, like a dark corporation - I could work in a one as a manager of chaos ๐ You're doing a lot and it's such a great stuff. But don't forget to rest a while from time to time to charge your batteries ๐

I think even if the EP stays an EP, Chaos INC is a great title.

A full length album of course would be prefferable! But it is good to know that at the very least we can get an EP which is dope! It would tide us over until the next album in 2026. But if I can be selfish, new records every year would be a dream! ๐๐ค Priest has been my go to 100% of the time on the road, in the gym and in the shower! So for me, the more, the merrier! Bring it on!

Lazy? Pfft! Please! We know youโre over there overclocking them CPUs but donโt overheat the computers either. You know how that goes ๐ New album this year + next โ you would be hella spoiling us, but not at the cost of your well-being and sanity, at least thatโs my thoughts on that anyway. If the flow of the EP evolves into an album because thats what feels right to you and for the music, thatโs the direction itโs meant to go in. We will be happy either way :) Happy February! Take care of yourselves! ๐ค

"Lazy"?! ๐ Not even! You're always jotting down whatever could be potentially used at a future time. Mercury told me about that when we were able to talk at length about many different things a bit of awhile ago. Never think that we're thinking you're doing nothing when you're at home because time and again, you let us know what's up whenever something happens. ๐ค๐ค๐ปโก

I love that they take their time to do all the production, I'm more than happy to see the new single. The world turns and there will be difficulties from which we learn to cope and what better to be accompanied by your great creation, personally they always give me relief, calm and peace. See you in Malta !!!
