Industrial Exiles Of Sweden’s GHOST, PRIEST Gear Up For Their First Ever U.S. Tour, Team With JULIEN-K (ex-ORGY) For Several Shows!

Fresh from the release of their monumental and highly acclaimed new studio album Body Machine as well as a recently completed blockbuster European tour with FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY and DIE KRUPPS, darkwave powerhouse troop PRIEST are set to invade U.S. shores for the first time in their career. Hailing from the same icy Scandinavian landscape that birthed their musical forebear, the Grammy Award-winning theatrical metal band GHOST, PRIEST have been on a mission to convert American audiences ever since they signed with Los Angeles-based indie label Cleopatra Records in 2021. 

Now the time has finally come for the leather-clad PRIEST trio of Mercury, Salt & Sulfur to bring their distinctive stage show to venues all across the U.S. and Mexico! Joining them for several of their forthcoming dates will be veteran electro-rockers JULIEN-K, which features former members of multi-platinum selling act ORGY. Together, these two well-programmed digital machines will bring some much-needed cyberpunk mayhem to your Halloween season!
