PREYRS, a visceral new force in alternative rock and metal, release their new single ‘Into The Blue’, from their hypnotic debut album, The Wounded Healer, out 14th November via Pelagic Records. 

Stream and pre-order here: https://orcd.co/preyrs

Vocalist Amy Montgomery comments: “‘Into The Blue’ is empathy, anger, passion and an observation of senseless loss of life.”

PREYRS are the brainchild of Belfast rock artist Amy Montgomery and drummer/producer Michael Mormecha. Fusing raw alternative rock energy with the weight of metal, the quartet’s music is an electrifying clash of aggression and euphoria, darkness and uplift, chaos and control. Elements of artists as disparate as Nine Inch Nails, Chelsea Wolfe, Sonic Youth, and Julie Christmas combine to delirious and heady effect.

Busking on the streets of Belfast from the age of 15, Amy Montgomery met multi-instrumentalist Michael Mormecha a few years later and they’ve been working together ever since. Both songwriters in their own right, Michael fronted renowned Irish post-hardcore outfit Mojo Fury and worked as a producer for artists including The Bonnevilles, Mojo Fury and Joshua Burnside. They’re joined as PREYRS by longtime guitarist Nolan Donelly and new bass player Ciarán McGreevy.

Known for electrifying live performances, PREYRS made their UK festival debut at Bloodstock Open Air this August, as well as appearing at Stendhal Festival in Ireland. Nominated as ‘Best Live Act’ and ‘Best Artist’ at the Northern Ireland Music Prize, Amy’s undeniably fierce and captivating frontperson energy has been her secret weapon often described as ‘otherworldly’ or ‘a force of nature’. For those seeking the epic, the healing, the aggressive and the unrelenting pulse of alternative rock and metal, PREYRS are it.

PREYRS will be supporting punk legends New Model Army across Europe this winter.

PREYRS, a visceral new force in alternative rock and metal, have unveiled their new single ‘Bring Ur Bruises’, taken from their mesmeric debut album, The Wounded Healer, out 14th November via Pelagic Records. 

Stream and pre-order here: https://orcd.co/preyrs

‘Bring Ur Bruises’ radiates resplendent, self-empowering positivity. Centred on the concept of the wounded healer, ‘Bring Ur Bruises’ implores the listener to welcome their trauma in, to own it and wear it as a paradoxical means of ultimately letting it go as triumphant, reverb-soaked guitars soar ever higher.

PREYRS, a visceral new force in alternative rock and metal, reveal their second ever single, ‘Zeros, Ones & Lies’, out now via Pelagic Records.

Stream: https://orcd.co/preyrs

PREYRS is the brainchild of Belfast rock artist Amy Montgomery and drummer/producer Michael Mormecha. Fusing raw alternative rock energy with the weight of metal, the quartet’s music is an electrifying clash of aggression and euphoria, darkness and uplift, chaos and control. Elements of artists as disparate as Nine Inch Nails, Chelsea Wolfe, Sonic Youth, and Julie Christmas combine to delirious and heady effect.

New single, the high-octane ‘Zeros, Ones & Lies’, wrestles with the spiritual toll of being fed constant footage of atrocity and catastrophe by a media that accepts no responsibility for their part in the global race to the bottom. The track bursts into furious life with urgent, double-time drums met by guitars distorted to the brink of destruction before the song all but caves in on itself as Amy quietly asks of us “Can you feel it? / like a river / it flows so silently / it flows so violently”.

PREYRS, a visceral new force in alternative rock and metal, announce their birth onto the world stage, with debut single ‘Wave of Wisdom’ – out now via Pelagic Records.

Stream: https://orcd.co/preyrs

PREYRS is the brainchild of Belfast rock artist Amy Montgomery and drummer/producer Michael Mormecha. Fusing raw alternative rock energy with the weight of metal, the quartet’s music is an electrifying clash of aggression and euphoria, darkness and uplift, chaos and control. Elements of artists as disparate as Nine Inch Nails, Chelsea Wolfe, Sonic Youth, and Julie Christmas combine to delirious and heady effect.

Debut single ‘Wave of Wisdom’ is a perfect introduction to the band, encapsulating their fierce yet gothic anthemic sound – where healing and rage collide in perfect harmony. A defiantly discordant clash of alt-folk slide guitar, and Mormecha’s pummelling industrial percussion, ‘Wave of Wisdom’ provides a great bedrock for Amy‘s incandescent delivery of uncertainty.

Of the new single, Amy comments: “‘Wave of Wisdom’ is about turning pain into power – tracing the roots of trauma through our own history and the wider collective to find truth, strength, and healing. It’s a raw reclamation of voice, born from the fire. It was written during a stark Canadian winter on Wolfe Island, looking out over the frozen expanse of Lake Ontario, a setting that mirrored the stillness, intensity, and clarity of the song’s creation. Self-produced by PREYRS drummer Michael Mormecha at Tree Song Studios, Ireland and mixed by Alex Loring.”
