Priest

A Tribute Album to Rammstein is Coming Soon!

August 21, 2023 — Leave a comment

When I say “soon,” I mean soon. As in, August 25th. Four days from now.

I had heard the covers of “Feuer Frei!” by The 69 Eyes and “Engel” by Priest, and I thought it was kind of odd (and awesome) that suddenly everyone was releasing their take on infamous Rammstein tracks. Then, I stumbled across a post on a Front Line Assembly fan page and saw that those two releases are part of a bigger project.

I’m pretty excited about this! The album features versions of songs such as “Du Hast,” “Sonne,” “Radio,” and “Deutschland,” by a slew of artists, including Front Line Assembly, Skold, Julien-K, and more. I will include the full track list below. You can order your copy on Cleopatra Records’ site.

1. “Du Hast” – Burton C. Bell, Paul Ferguson, and MGT

2. “Deutschland” – Front Line Assembly

3. “Sonne” – Skold

4. “Engel” – Priest

5. “Amerika” – Laibach

6. “Feuer Frei!” – The 69 Eyes

Priest is a synthwave act from Sweden that consists of former members of Ghost. The band has been releasing music since 2017 and were signed to Cleopatra Records in 2021. Having just wrapped a tour in support of Powerman 5000, Priest dropped their second single – and second cover track – of 2023 today, an interesting take on Rammstein’s well-known song “Engel.” Listen here:
