Adelaide-based heavy-grunge-rock band Priority Orange have released "Mk II", their second EP following 2009's self-titled debut. Again featuring 4 tracks, the new album showcases a wider range of influences, particularly progressive rock, and has been heralded as "a step forward" in songwriting. Guest musicians from bands such as Blood Red Renaissance and Black Orchid are featured on several tracks. "Mk II" will be available as both a physical CD (which includes quadraphonic mixes of the studio tracks and previously-unreleased live videos) and as a digital download from http://priorityorange.bandcamp.com

Priority Orange seek to bring an element of volatility and individuality into an otherwise stagnant and predictable scene. Taking cues from the last four decades, the band primarily aim to fuse early-90s heavy-grunge in the style of Alice In Chains and Helmet with the 70s progressive rock sensibilities of bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, while presenting the assembly in a aggressive quasi-industrial modern metal approach reminiscent of the works of Nine Inch Nails and Devin Townsend. A debut self-titled EP was released in 2009 which highlighted the former set of influences in a raw, scathing burst.
