Led by their mesmerising frontwoman The Imperial Priestess – without doubt the most arresting frontperson in heavy music and possessor of a remarkable voice honed over her many lives and incarnations throughout human history – Neptune Power Federation are one of the most aurally and visually compelling bands in Australia. Combining all manner of classic ’70s melodic hard rock with punk energy and a psychedelic heavy metal attack, the band’s singular vision and stunning music has won them hordes of fans throughout Europe and beyond.
Formed in 2012 by guitarist Inverted CruciFox (aka Mike Foxtall ex-Nancy Vandal), drummer River Sticks (aka Dean Bakota, ex-Nancy Vandal), bass player Jaytanic Ritual (aka Jay Frenzal, ex-Triple J and Frenzal Rhomb) and guitarist Search And DesTroy (aka Troy Scerri, ex-Mortal Sin, Daredevil, Buffalo Revisted), the band was adopted by the eternal space witch The Imperial Priestess aka Screaming Loz Sutch after their second album.
While 2019’s Memoirs of a Rat Queen featured a collection of stories told by the Priestess from her various lives throughout human history – from accusations of witchcraft during the depths of the black plague in Medieval Germany to taking a lover in a boogie van at a Maryland Judas Priest concert in 1986 – new album Le Demon De L’Amour takes a new lyrical approach; one that suits its projected release date of Valentines’ Day 2022.
