Priestess is a
Canadian rock band formed by singer/guitarist
Mikey Heppner in
Montreal,
Quebec in 2003. Since its inception it has featured Heppner, singer/guitarist Dan Watchorn, singer/drummer Vince Nudo, and bassist Mike Dyball. Priestess were considered one of the most important bands in the early millennial “retro rock” movement, although they denied intentionally attempting to emulate the sounds of classic rock bands such as
Black Sabbath and
AC/DC, whom they idolized and to whom they were frequently compared.
