Description

Bow to the Imperial Priestess! On Memoirs of a Rat Queen, Australian psychedelic rock and roll occultists The Neptune Power Federation have arrived to take you on a sonic journey like no other. Formed in Australia in 2012, The Neptune Power Federation originally started as a studio project with a singer based in the United States. Their trajectory was forever changed when Imperial Priestess Screaming Loz Sutch joined the band in 2015. The Neptune Power Federation soon honed in on an image and sound that reflected progressive, metal and space rock, all with the goal of recreating music that was played from 1968 to 1978. Combined with an eye-catching stage presentation that finds the Imperial Priestess assuming the role of a time-traveling space witch, and what you have is one of the most distinctive bands to not only come out of Australia, but the world. Their fourth album Memoirs Of A Rat Queen is inspired by eight diary entries authored by the Imperial Priestess that detail everything she has lived through, from her role in the French Revolution, being falsely accused of manifesting the Black Plague in medieval Germany, all the way to the time she took a lover in the parking lot outside of a Judas Priest concert in 1986. Wow. Just wow. The concept behind the band, let alone the concept behind this album, is utterly fascinating. Read all of that above and tell me you don’t want to know what this band sound like?! Well, at their core, they’re rock and roll. Catchy old school vibes warped with a psychedelic edge and delivered with precision. If you’re not bopping along to the guitar groove and catchy rhythms then chances are you’ll be in awe of Imperial Priestess Screaming Loz Sutch’s voice. What a bloody talent she is.
