Album Notes

THE PRIORY’s debut CD, "Grail Song," is a stunning piece of modern songcraft and musicianship. Inspired by recent books and films about the search for the Grail, this album will take you a spiritual journey to help you decipher one of the mysteries of the ages.

"Grail Song" was created by the same studio team that brought you Guitar Garden. THE PRIORY uses lush keyboards and guitar-synthesizer textures (such as Flute Guitar) to create a charismatic blend of Celtic, Jazz, New Age, Electronic and Progressive styles.

The recording sessions for this CD proceeded at a swift pace, and tracks like “Sangreal,” “Sophie” and “Keystone" were largely composed and recorded in an exciting one-week period. Indeed, most of "Grail Song" was completed in under one month. This fresh inspiration gives the album a sense of spontaneity that’s rarely heard these days in instrumental music.
