“Genre change ups are a big deal, no matter how long you’ve been in the music industry. You’re opening yourself up into a new world, and then there are the fans. Are they going to love it or hate it? Well, if you’re a fan of PRIEST, then you are in for a surprise. Swapping out their old sound for something new, darker and edgier, PRIEST– a trio that are two-thirds of former members of Swedish rock act GHOST– are here to mark a new chapter in the story of their band. Now embracing synthwave, PRIESTare here to rip up the rule book.”

“Perfect Body Machinestruts in right after and I can smell the cloud of hairspray as this is an 80’s synth pop master work, I swear I can see the leg warmers and neon spandex from here. Coming to an aerobics class near you.”

- MATT BLADEN

“Priest is smart enough to maximize variety. The sorta title track “Perfect Body Machine” taps into ’80s pop glitz, while “Nightcrawler” tugs the strings of modern-day EDM, yet both songs retain the album’s spirit, never pandering for popularity. the singer mixes up his vocal delivery across Body Machine, and unlike on Cyberhead, he sounds remarkably consistent and less processed here—he’s clearly found his voice.”
