As a big "Priest" fan since his childhood, the band had probably the most influence on Thobbe's musical career. As a teenager he even had a tattoo of Metallion on his left arm and listened to albums like "British Steel" and "Defenders of the Faith" every evening in bed with his cassette player. Thobbe Englund says: "Hail to the Priest" is my way of saying a big thank you to the absolute gods of metal.
