PRIEST - THE PIT (Official Video)

[@JayEduards]

I never get invited to these kinds of parties!!

[@rpcarnell]

neither have I. But they are out there. I just need to get invited.

[@yunasan07]

Same here :c

[@robertharris8665]

Praise the Lords

"Come closer to me... Come closer to me... Come closer to me and be truly free" * chills *

[@jenk8516]

Ghost, MCC, and now Priest are all consuming me rip. I smell talent over here too tho, can't wait for a full Priest album

[@vanilla7349]

what's MCC?

I ascend from the shit Up to the edge of the bottomless pit Reborn, I am free Like a fetus again I learn how to breathe The darkness was a cocoon Just like the moth, I escape the gloom A sparkle deep within Let out the flame that begot me to win There is no way to quell my desire The energy inside the void The fire Cast down from the skies Carrying the weight of the world’s despise A downfall made me see This hole gave birth to the preacher in me There is no way to quell my desire The energy inside the void The fire Come closer to me Come closer to me Come closer to me and be truly free There is no way to quell my desire The energy inside the void The fire

[@AndreaBenjamin-d8l]

these lyrics are fire.

[@CynRamirez]

This is so addictive 😍😭 Giving me 80's goth vibes.

[@tkirk3660]

Same winky face with a beak emoji

[@Xisk77]

Yup, they are epic live! Saw them Islington with combichrist and they sounded really good and the front man was awesome.

[@lilianecaron5107]

It's not usually my kind of music, but holy sh*t I can't stop listening to it!!! Can't wait to see those guys in concert, if they ever do some

[@Xisk77]

They are awesome live! 👌

[@beastmerc84]

@@Xisk77 I'm going to catch them live next time in the states. I hope they come to the south. We're not all rednecks down here. There's some characters in the south for sure, but I've traveled and there's characters everywhere. I like the fact everyone is different. If we were all the same, it would be boring as Hell.

[@robertharris8665]

Saw them Sunday night in KC with Combichrist

[@YpsilonLinus]

@@robertharris8665 😦 I hope they come to Austria this fall. Cause so they said when I asked on one of their social media sites. 🙏

[@hydroliskythemasterof4751]

Shows live are top notch my friend. Highly recommend it. I got to see these guys with combichrist and grendel, it was fantastic man.

[@SlowlyDisintegrating]

This almost has a real depeche mode feel to it. does anyone agree with that or is it just me?

[@raulirias6661]

Slowlydisintegrating Perhaps, Playing the Angel vibes. Or maybe they got inspired from Depeche Mode

[@luismaturano4774]

Yes especially with their song The Cross

[@bosqueli]

Some great reward + black celebration 💕😍

[@MogbadTheTerrible]

That's why me and my partner love their songs. I feel it's got a strong depeche mode feel in all their songs. :3

[@SoundSelector]

More like Kazaky but I understand what you mean.

[@flylim8599]

Sonido maravilloso, es algo nuevo, fresco, un sonido nostalgico, perdido en los 80 y recuperado MAGISTRALMENTE. Esto es ARTE. Con esta creacion se nota quien es en verdad el original artista. PRIEST Pi (3,1416) al infinito de exitos por este trabajo y los que han de llegar, con altura, profesionalismo y calidad.

[@douvier]

Sounds like early Depeche Mode, and thats a good thing!

[@robertharris8665]

Saw them with Combichrist in a tiny club in KC and he walked through the crowd putting his hand on everyone's forehead like he was blessing us - pretty cool

[@RussellLambeth]

I am so jealous! My wife and I saw Combichrist 3 times including getting party with them either party or after their turn to play at whichever group concert they were playing with. Andy, et el, were amazing to hang out with but I would have loved to met Priest at the same time.

[@liorauf]

Great song! Good job Alpha on the producing!

[@southernreptile9661]

look is also the "producer"

[@RussellLambeth]

This is seriously one of the coolest songs/videos I have seen in many, many years, And I am super old, so I am not talking about just the last 30 or 40 years...lol.

[@RussellLambeth]

Yeah, I turn 55 in 3 months. So I hear you. This song and video are fucking amazing.

[@shallanbrightness3520]

I have no idea what's happening in the video but it's quite interesting

[@theskullcollector77]

holy shit I feel like I'm watching a Dario Argento film. this is freaking perfect.

[@popstarpirate8152]

I wake up to Priest, go to sleep to Priest. There is no way to quell my desire.

[@YpsilonLinus]

I'm not the only one 👏😅

[@armyofcats666]

Obscure fetish I didn't even know I had until now: neck grazing with a plague doctor mask...

[@armyofcats666]

I have now learned that this act has been given a name: "beaking." Thank you, Tumblr!

[@armyofcats666]

Lol, no twerking- but maybe some Mummy Dust thrusts...

[@Wagoo]

BEAK ME, DADDY!

[@maixchai]

Wagoo why did your comment nearly kill me. 🤣🖤

[@29degreesofpluto45]

All of a sudden I wish to be beaked too!

[@MollyMcBooter]

the men in suits by a pyramid on the table reminds me of Gary Numan’s The Pleasure Principle album :)

[@dustinadams3868]

Excuse me sir... Did you just beak the back of my neck?????

[@mattce988]

I did, sir, yes.

[@anaabigaildeleonjimenez1414]

te la rifaste Simon 💜

[@Pixel_Track]

I've listened this track a hundred times and it is still awesome!

[@LoL12kricki]

So the symbol Puppet Master is wearing is for Mercury, the guys in the plague masks have the signs for Earth (the planet, not the sign) and Sulfur. Also this is so good I have chills all over

[@RoyBasanta]

It is Salt, not Earth. Mercury, Sulphur and Salt, the three principles of alchemy

[@rikua]

the tria prima.

[@LoL12kricki]

Ohh okay! Thanks for telling, it was a bit hard to see and it looked like a full cross in a circle so I just assumed that's what it was

[@Yanlin707]

epic synth!

[@theMermaidChicken]

I'm not even sure how many times I've listened to this song already, but I like it more and more each time.:DD I'm so excited to hear more music from this band.

[@marcioecv1]

I NEED MORE. I NEED MORE NOW!

[@rikua]

*Before: * love this song, love the beat, video seems a bit simp- *mask to the back of the neck shows up: * ... whelp, now i'm fucked. *throws hands up in surrender *

[@andrewwelch5017]

Soon to be known as Priest B.C. in the USA. 🤣

[@lady.m0rgue]

this fucking killed me 😂

[@SirAlexOfTheGuitar]

Andrew Welch take my fucking like and get the fuck out of here lol

[@Anna-3084]

Andrew Welch well played, sir. well played.

[@eww27]

or Priest A.D. ?

[@iamlascivious7584]

Andrew Welch lmao nice

[@camet.mp3885]

this group has a great future

[@chaseykaluha3040]

I usually don't listen to techno, but... Wow! The vibe I get from this song really got my attention. Great job! 👏😎

[@KnightoftheDark123]

Now THIS has me even more excited for you guys!!! Can't wait to see what else you guys come out with!!

[@Lecktroe]

I keep coming back to this song...

[@jp0blues04]

Great open vibe. ....cant hold off the pending depeche.... and um....the bottomless pit. Love song clearly.

[@Elebore]

2:56 okay that made me terribly uncomfortable lmao

[@kelleystrange]

And here I am like... why can't someone do that to me? LOL

[@Elebore]

That was at the same times quite hot and very scary??? I'm confused eh

[@evattmab]

LMAO. Same here. So fucking hot.

[@kelleystrange]

ellzedd41 I don't recall any killing in this video... did I miss something?

[@kelleystrange]

I like to imagine pleasure overload haha

[@nickwaldron1719]

saw these guys playing this yesterday in Bristol- front row at the time- incredible energy in the crowd!

[@selinayyn]

Simon yine bombayı attı ortaya! This is AMAZING, i love the video. 😍

[@CamEatsHam]

Puppet Master's mask reminds me of the movie The Collector, and that character.

[@morningshadows7594]

We're so glad you're making videos for these, now.

[@lady.m0rgue]

I must have watched this 1,000 times today. There is no way to quell my desire.

[@anaabigaildeleonjimenez1414]

Yes! finally! 😍💙

[@annapocalypsezero4719]

Them cenobites always causing trouble. Great song!

[@xilemagr4307]

this just blew my mind~ All that symbols, the creepy-movie theme, ineedmore/0/

[@excelzzer]

Soooooo good! Can't wait for the rest of the project.

[@krone999]

oh wow, and uploaded on my birthday, too? you guys shouldn't have... no but seriously, I was kind of unconvinced of the music at first but I think I get it more after having seen this video! to me there are not a lot of bands who manage to make a song even greater by coupling it with a video, but I think you guys really managed to do just that. I'm not planning to get overexcited after one single song, but shit, I'm definitely excited for more now!

[@djnkr]

I cant believe it... This vid deserve millions of views.

[@chickenmcnugget4904]

I love the visuals

[@k.asherman4754]

Yay!! Great video!! 💞

[@barbaralalalala2349]

This is absolutely amazing ❤

[@shining3026]

great song and pretty awesome video! good job guys, keep it up!!

I'm in love with this

This is my favorite Priest song!❤️❤️❤️

From the pinnacle to ..THE PIT... ok ill leave now

[@gabrielgoog]

I am addicted to this !!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

[@violetxoxox]

Well done. ♡

[@Rammusfan]

This is amazing! My new favorite song and video, :)

[@SidWilson17]

So many Ghost related symbols in this video

[@SlowlyDisintegrating]

SidWilson17 hey didn't expect to see you here! ;)

[@jinagibson6818]

SidWilson17 just a table of relatives?

[@RobustEnigma]

Less ghost related, more shared influence.. TF, Alpha, and crew all came up together in the same area/scene. And as a concept, all of the bands (MCC/TID included) started in the same period. It's all very fun to dive into. :)

[@nachtkind46]

not to mention the symbols are all alchemical

[@liberamente1683]

SidWilson17 We call this alchemic symbols

[@KatPlasko]

Creepy and unsettling - I LOVE IT!

[@LISAMC641]

love you voice

The Pit Priest THE PIT LYRICS [Verse 1] Rising from the shit Up to the edge of the bottomless pit Reborn, I am free Like a fetus again, I learn how to breathe The darkness was a cocoon Just like the moth, I escape the gloom A sparkle deep within Lit up a flame that will guide me to win [Chorus] There is no way to quell my desire The energy inside the void, the fire [Verse 2] Cast down from the skies Carrying the weight of the world's despise The downfall made me see This hole gave birth to the preacher in me [Chorus] There is no way to quell my desire The energy inside the void, the fire There is no way to quell my desire The energy inside the void, the fire Come closer to me, come closer to me Come closer to me and be truly free Come closer to me, come closer to me Come closer to me and be truly free Come closer to me, come closer to me Come closer to me and be truly free Come closer to me, come closer to me Come closer to me and be truly free [Chorus] There is no way to quell my desire The energy inside the void, the fire There is no way to quell my desire The energy inside the void, the fire

[@Hoodlum-bj2ff]

sounds like something I would hear in American Horror Story 🤘❤

[@thehetz1]

My love of Ghost brought me to this video for various reasons. I hate electronic and house music - at least i thought I did, I no longer do after hearing this. I loved industrial when it was a thing in the 90s, Priest could easily bring it back. I do think that TR and AJ would approve! Thank you for this and I cannot wait to come closer to you with more tunes!

[@ParsimoniousTuring]

It's like TOR and some of what's found there blew up and exploded all over a basement.. and it's delicious ;) Thank you! :D

[@carmentamariz7575]

omg i really love this!! good job Simon ♡

[@MalvaviscoAsao]

Ésta canción merece más vistas, no sé cómo llegué pero de acá no me voy

[@lucasmommer2000]

This sounds sooo good, looking forward to the complete EP !

[@pern1044]

Blown away!

[@TravisBeckMusic]

My tattoo artist just turned me on to this band. I need so much more of this in my life!!!

[@weirdowilliams3723]

Hated this. But now I can't go five minutes without hearing it.

[@chucklehead2000]

Weirdo Williams Fiuuuuk. I know what you mean.

[@yurapishwall621]

you are fighting opposite personalizes in your own psyche

[@lechuga3366]

I need more of this

[@tobleronefudge2142]

I think I saw some references for The Lost Highway. 1.Blond guy with split personality(the one with glasses and the one with earing) 2.Priest passed the handset to the guy as Mystery Man to the main character. 3.Blond guy(probably) kills a girl( kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJa0ooOparZja80 ) as the main character kills his wife. 4.Flashes. But maybe it's just me.

[@MrSinthan]

Karyna Maleieva OMG you are sooooo right on!

[@TheSonNamedSet]

spicy 👏👏👏 can't wait for more omfg

[@drowwarlock]

Love the dark synthwave vibe

[@thainaboryca]

This is not my kind of music, but jesus, it's amazing! You know that a song is good when the song makes you feel something. "Come closer to me and be truly free" 🎶

[@SirAlexOfTheGuitar]

badass video for a badass song. I'm looking forward to moar stuff

[@CarolaTesla]

02:30 alpha's symbol?

[@shining3026]

RukiTheBigMonster i've noticed that too lol

[@armyofcats666]

RukiTheBigMonster YUP!! I thought the same thing

[@jobforapanda]

Alpha is the producer!

[@CarolaTesla]

I know xD I wonder if he's a member too

[@southernreptile9661]

+RukiTheBigMonster I think he is one of the Plague Doctors

[@alina-andreeaiordachita5240]

The synth and the vocals are so good I might be astroprojecting rn dis tew much and dis too good

[@annawarner6905]

Отлично 😻👏🏻

[@DigitalMannX1]

Damn! this is one phat, pure, uncorrupted, FILTHY tune. It has a Eurythmics vibe to it. But nastier, and with larger teeth.

[@TheBlackacidevil]

Very cool.

[@Catoshizzle]

Is the triangle in the clip referring to Alpha? or is this just a crazy coincedence?

[@steampunkpirate5918]

Well he is the producer of the band so I'm guessing it is. I had the same thought with all the triangles

[@DearlyStars]

The references to the other formerly great band are fully intentional

[@ChristianStepmoms]

Its a shame that this is more of an actual real slam on the old band. The idea of a kayfabe feud between the clergy and the ministry would be really entertaining.

[@arielalvarez8014]

"formerly great?!" you can't be serious..

[@shirrepoffer]

Well they will never be the same again and I doubt the upcoming album will be as good as the earlier ones because of what Tobias/Papa did. They have lost some GREAT musicians so it definitely will be a difference from now on. To me Ghost as a band grew with every album and Meliora is one hell of an album to beat. I doubt they can top it.

[@XtrevolutionXX]

Its 2020 and I'm obsessed with this band....I still love my deathmetal but damn this is good!

[@lucasstruna3962]

ell yeah brother

[@thepast6007]

Huge song
