Montreal-based hard rock heavyweight Priestess has announced a fall US headlining tour in support of its critically acclaimed album "Prior To The Fire". The tour will launch on November 6 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and include support from fast-rising Brooklyn trio NAAM.
"2010 has been a great year for Priestess, but we're not nearly done yet," commented frontman Mikey Heppner. "We're ready to bring the heat yet again."

"Prior To The Fire" was recorded in Los Angeles with producer David Schiffman (System Of A Down, The Mars Volta, Nine Inch Nails) and it "underlines Priestess' hard-hitting songwriting, memorable hooks and earth-shaking ability to rock," according to a press release. The long-awaited follow up to 2006's critically acclaimed debut "Hello Master" sees Priestess at once hungry, fierce and focused. The record's majestic power merges titanic riffs, memorable metal, progressive rock and hard psych elements with the powerful, expressive vocals of Mikey Heppner to create an album that will floor heavy music fans.
