Priest, featuring former band members of Ghost, release new single “Minions”

The Swedish dark 80s style synth-pop band Priest, which partly consists of former band members of the Swedish rock heavyweights Ghost, has released their new single “Minions“. You can listen to the song below:

Priest comment on the new release as follows:

“In a morally depraved world where you feel trapped– what are the options for justice? Priest’s new single explores desperation on the brink of action, and maybe even real change. Why would it be severely unwise to miss this tune? Because ‘Minions’ is an energetic, bassline driven anthem with an old school Prodigy-beat!”

– Priest

After “Python“, “Minions” is the second single from Priest‘s upcoming 5th studio album “Altered State Police” which will be released on 23 October 2026 via Blue Nine Records and can be pre-ordered here. Tomorrow (19 September 2026), Priest will premiere the fourth era of the band live at the pre-release party for “Altered State Police” in the Swedish city of Jönköping. The event has been completely sold out for about a month. The first opportunities to experience Priest‘s fourth era live after the premiere will be on their Swedish tour with Alice In Videoland, at the record release show for “Altered State Police” in their hometown of Linköping and on their European tour with Aesthetic Perfection. The dates can be seen below. Tickets and further information can be found on Priest‘s website.
