War Priest is on a chill, underground tip. You can't find them on the internet. You can't find them on MySpace (well, at least I couldn't). Hell, even their record label has almost no presence on the internet. Check streetcleanerrecords.com yourself for proof. It's strange, in the digital age, these guys are keeping it old school. AND IT FUCKING WORKS.



This album shreds. It reminds me heavily of Black Sabbath's Master Of Reality. Now that could just be the heavy black and purple theme going on, but it's heavy and rips. And not in the Goat Island, weird lack of robes nod to black metal sludge, but with fast, hard metal riffs and smashing drums.

And the vinyl "gimmick" works on me. Not really a gimmick, I suppose, but a one sided 12" EP really catches me. It certainly made me set it aside for further investigation. I mean, check these pics.



That's just cool. I'd love to tell you where you could pick up this album, but I have no friggin clue. Contact Ahron or try your luck on Ebay. Peace.

cool. i picked this up about a month ago at Celebrated Summer Records in Towson, MD on a whim. haven't had a chance to hear it yet but your review makes it sound promising. for collector nerds: i was told it's a one-time pressing of 500 copies.
