Label: Blue Nine
Release Date: 10/23/2026
Variant: 180g Black Vinyl LP

The Swedish androids give you a fresh, new take on the ’90s synthpop and big beat era. With far greater depth and detail than before, Priest throws you on a journey through dystopian cityscapes, where surveillance and political distrust is on the brink to ignite a new revolution.

The intent is to listen to Altered State Police as a whole, from start to finish – to completely immerse yourself in it. Questions may arise and find their answers on a later song, and if you have feelings and thoughts about certain subjects portrayed, think of the tracks as mental litmus tests taken over a decade of time.

Altered State Police is uncompromising and written with the intention of being a classic album.

HIGHLIGHTS:
– Priest is back with one of 2026’s most anticipated releases in the genre.
– Altered State Police is produced by synth veterans Leo Josefsson and Linton Rubino.
– Priest consists of several ex-members of Grammy Award-winning band Ghost.
