Following in the footsteps of Northern Ireland's <a href="spotify:artist:4r4Gk6oEMIz28ubBaE9vZX">the Priests</a> and France's <a href="spotify:artist:2eXc93UjpQ2M1af9DaLof7">Les Prêtres</a>, Germany's Die Priester are a trio of Roman Catholic churchmen who found fame performing modernized versions of religious-themed songs. Formed by Abbot Primate Notker Wolf and Austrian chaplain Karl Wallner, the latter of whom was responsible for the similar <a href="spotify:artist:3nlIDlDlpUvr9PNF7k7SFd">Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz</a>, the lineup consists of Father Vianney Meister, diocesan priest Andreas Schatzkle, and Abbot Rhabanus Petri. Featuring reworkings of classical pieces by Beethoven, <a href="spotify:artist:5aIqB5nVVvmFsvSdExz408">Bach</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1QL7yTHrdahRMpvNtn6rI2">Handel</a> alongside renditions of <a href="spotify:artist:5l8VQNuIg0turYE1VtM9zV">Leonard Cohen</a>'s "Hallelujah" and <a href="spotify:artist:47RPLpnGhBRTjQrRBOev9s">Xavier Naidoo</a>'s "Dieser Weg," their debut album, Spiritus Dei, reached number eight in the German charts in 2011. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi
