SERAINA TELLI has released a new single “I Dare To (Acoustic – Live From The Cave)”.

SERAINA TELLI dares to be different and she definitely dares to leave her band out for once and show off her talent only with an acoustic guitar. Well, a great song does not need many bells and whistles as the acoustic version of “I Dare To” proves it.

The electric version of the song is part of Seraina’s great debut album “Simple Talk” wich was released on 21.10.2022 on Metalville Records.

Following up on their hugely popular, first ever US tour last October in support of their magnificent studio album BODY MACHINE, dark wave wizards PRIEST are back with a brand-new single that befits both their sound and image. “PERSONAL JESUS” ranks as one of the most popular songs by British godfathers of electro DEPECHE MODE from that group’s best-selling massively influential 1990 VIOLATOR album. The song not only became a wildly popular radio hit upon its release, it has endured through the years with cover versions by everyone from Johnny Cash to Marilyn Manson. 

On this new version, PRIEST vocalist MERCURY sinks his teeth into the song’s monotoned lyrics while the band converts the song’s signature twangy guitar riff into a deliciously distorted keyboard line that amps up the ominous sex appeal. The band declares that “PERSONAL JESUS” is “one of those timeless tracks that seem to always have been there. When we got the chance to cover a Depeche Mode song we got a bit sweaty – how should you even approach it? We took away the guitar, most iconic part of the song and replaced it with a Moog synthesizer! It resulted in a more gritty, hard hitting version. This is a homage to the band I think have influenced us the most.”

PRIEST’s cover is the first song to be released from the forthcoming Depeche Mode tribute album, All I Ever Wanted – A Tribute To Depeche Mode, which will feature tracks even more incredible covers by LEBANON HANOVER, SKOLD, XIU XIU, THE KVB and more! Coming to stores and digital platforms March 17!

Also, if you missed them the first time, be sure to catch PRIEST performing at their very first show of 2023 at Hollywood’s notorious goth-industrial nightclub BAR SINISTER, February 11, where you can hear the band perform “PERSONAL JESUS” live!

We didn’t tour so much but we did one offs, the big festivals all around the world and we did it for uh what about 14 years 15 years. And uh everybody decided they want to do other things and so we never broke up we just stopped playing.”
