Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Last Friday, Swedish synth trio Priest released “Just A Game”, the carrier single off their upcoming album Dark Pulse, slated for May 31st. Following 2022’s Body Machine, the new album centers around a cyberpunk universe full of nightlife-laden adventures, and continues to build upon a beat-heavy, bass-driven foundation inspired by the rave scene of the early 90s. The band is currently in California on the Neon Chronicles tour alongside Julien-K and September Mourning, which continues throughout April.
Ahead of Priest’s show at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, frontman Mercury (known as Water during his tenure as bassist for four-time Grammy winners Ghost) came on for an interview. We discussed his transition from Ghost, the foundational elements of “Just A Game” as they work within the Dark Pulse album, the impact of the Swedish rock scene through the years, and the learning curves to pursuing music, personally and professionally.
