Priest Shares Their Cover of Rammstein’s “Engel” from the Cleopatra Records Tribute Album
With two back-to-back tours across the US and Europe, festival dates, and a brand-new single all happening in rapid-fire succession, you might think that Priest never sleep, instead fueled by the phantom power of some otherworldly, extraterrestrial entity. While we cannot confirm or deny the validity of that claim, we can attest to the awe-inspiring magnitude of their most recent release, a truly transformative take on Rammstein’s “Engel.” Priest’s “Engel” hammers the mechanized edge of the original into a skin-splitting, piercingly sharp point, with a pounding, bass-heavy beat, gritty, distorted vocal overdubs, and a delicately velveteen, ethereal melody, compliments of female vocalist and Priest visual artist, Greta Helling. Priest reimagines the original by stripping it down to its nuclear core, before quantizing and constructing a truly unique coalescence of electronic and melodic instrumentation that is all their own. A Tribute To Rammstein, available worldwide on August 25th, via Cleopatra Records, and pre-orders are available at the links below. Stream “Engel” by Priest now!
