Emerging from the Bay Area deathrock and dark punk scene, MYSTIC PRIESTESS have released a bewitching new video for their single “Mystic Priestess”, off of their most recent EP, No Tomorrow Only Today. The video, directed by Akiko Sampson  of  Ötzi  and produced by Psychic Eye, just premiered via Cvlt Nation. Depicting occult rituals performed underneath a seaside moon, the video also serves as a showcase for the band’s ferocious live performance.

Stream the video “Mystic Priestess” AT THIS LOCATION via CVLT Nation.

“For the video we wanted to capture the moon shining above the sea to represent the cleansing power of the moon and the healing femme energy it holds, which is also the theme of the lyrics,” says singer Sierra Rose. “The song ‘Mystic Priestess’ is an invocation to empower femme energy in a world of toxic masculinity.”

Guitarist and saxophonist Winter Zora adds, “It’s a reminder of our connection with the earth and how we can utilize that energy to protect and heal ourselves from the day to day obstacles we face as femmes in a world of predominantly white cis male normalized superiority.”
