The beginning
Drummer Jari, guitarists Anssi and Sami started to rehearsal some Priest songs two years ago. Everything went well so they decided to audition for a singer. They found Pete Z, friend of Jari and frontman of rock group called "The Sailormen". Pete Z joined the band in April 2005. Now bass player was found - Arnold was an old friend of Jari and a singer/bass player in a band called "Kettinki".

Rocking hard, riding free on the wind
Together these five men started to practise the music of Judas Priest. They were all big time Priest -fans and been playing the music with their own bands also. First show of Priestone was played in 2005 august and it was a classic. It was played in the middle of the woods in Jämsä town with a group of
High-Priesthoods´s Suominurkkaus people as an audience. After that the doors opened and Priestone dudes found themselves playing in a smaller clubs and even in Helsinki Ice-Hall and famous Kaivohuone of Helsinki.

At summer 2006 Priestone played their biggest show so far in Sauna Open Air festival warming up M3 the original Whitesnake at Tullikamari, Pakkahuone.

After this, Sami left the band and Priestone found a new guitarman Jukka from Downforce.
