Priest release “Techno Girl” music video feat. former members of Ghost

Author Jad - 14.3.2022

Following up on the triumphant “A Signal In The Noise”, released at the end of 2021, Priest, the synthwave act featuring former members of the Grammy Award-winning Swedish rock act Ghost, has just unleashed a follow-up single, “Techno Girl”. The track trades the distorted guitars of Priest‘s former gig for icy synths and throbbing drums to craft a memorably melodic ode to female badassery.

To promote the song, the band decided to create its biggest, most elaborate music video to date, collaborating with in-demand filmmaker and videographer Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films), who has helmed videos by Cradle Of FilthSkold3TeethQueensrÿche and others. Cordero pulls out all the stops for “Techno Girl”, saturating the screen with neon colors and retro graphics to bring the song’s central character to life, an ass-kicking, video game playing, motorcycle riding, gun toting renegade who has no problem holding her own in Cordero‘s quasi-futuristic hyper-violent world. The video showcases the cinematic quality of Priest‘s sound, which has already been tapped by major Hollywood producers for inclusion in the upcoming Mel Gibson movie Hot Seat.

As the bandmembers themselves declare:

This is a hi-octane bop with instant hooks that scores the futuristic mindscape of Priest. Vicente masterfully realizes that vision and we only wish we made the song longer so we could see more of it. Strap your belt on properly and enjoy “Techno Girl”!

Priest will embark on a European tour, Eurotour 2022, with special guests Sjöblom and Craven, at the end of March.
