In 2020, after almost a decade of retirement after leaving Judas Priest, the legendary guitarist K.K. Downing formed his own band called KKs Priest alongside the ex-Priest vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens.
Their first album “Sermons of the Sinner” was released in 2021 and now the group announced their second record called “The Sinner Rides Again” that will be out next September 29 via Napalm Records.
The first single “One More Shot At Glory” is already available to be heard on the streaming platforms.
Hear the new KK’s Priest song “One More Shot At Glory”:
“To continue the legacy of the traditional rock and metal that I have been so fortunate to be a part of for over 50 years, this latest album, The Sinner Rides Again, has been created to take the listener on a journey that is both real and fictional with its characters, although sometimes ambiguous.”
“These songs allow the imaginations of all fans of this wonderful genre of music to escape reality and join with us to continue our heavy metal experience into the future,” the guitarist K.K. Downing said.
