Preyrs, a visceral new force in alternative rock and metal, have unveiled the third single, "Bring Ur Bruises", from their forthcoming debut album, The Wounded Healer, due on 14 November via Pelagic Records.
"Bring Ur Bruises" radiates resplendent, self-empowering positivity. Centred on the concept of the wounded healer, "Bring Ur Bruises" implores the listener to welcome in their trauma, to own it and wear it as a paradoxical means of ultimately letting it go as triumphant, reverb-soaked guitars soar ever higher.
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 a 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.
