This episode of Big Blend Radio features Mercury, Swedish vocalist and co-founder of Priest, who talks about their new album BODY MACHINE. Priest, who describes its musical vision as a of blend of darkwave and industrial goth, also has a talent for creating catchy, melodic hooks, memorable synth riffs and heavy, throbbing rhythms in its music, which is very much in evidence on the ten tracks on Body Machine. Think of a darker, heavier Depeche Mode, a band who has been a big influence on Priest over the years.

Priest features in its lineup two former members of the hugely popular and Grammy Award-winning Swedish rock band Ghost - vocalist Mercury, who was known as Water when he played bass for Ghost, keyboardist Salt, formerly known as Ghost keyboardist Air, and programmer/ keyboardist Sulfur. releasing through Cleopatra Records on July 15, 2022, "Body Machine" was produced by another Ghost alumni, Simon Söderberg (guitarist and producer/engineer of Ghost’s debut album Opus Eponymous).
