High Priestess is the third studio album from heavy metal ensemble Kobra and the Lotus. Produced by Grammy Award nominee and songwriter Johnny K, the album was released on June 24, 2014.[1]
The ensemble created fourteen new songs for the album[2] at Groovemaster Recording Studios. The album made its debut in the CMJ Loud Rock Radio charts in the United States at #4.[1]
A lyric video was created for "I Am, I Am".[3] The eighth video by the band, entitled "Soldier"[4] was shot in a vacated mine in British Columbia with director Lisa Mann. The production features genuine World War II arms and clothing.[5]
The album received praise from Get Your Rock Out writer Michael Dodd who particularly singled out the song 'Willow', calling it "a grippingly addictive highlight". Summing up the record he wrote that "With High Priestess the group can boast a true treasure, an album that is just too fun to not listen to again and again; a real force of awesome metal and one of the most addictive releases of 2014".[6]
