KK’s Priest, the group formed by the ex-Judas Priest members K.K. Downing (Guitar) and Tim “Ripper” Owens (Vocals) released “Strike Of The Viper”, a new single of their upcoming second studio album “The Sinner Rides Again” that will be out next September 29.
The legendary guitarist talked about the track, saying: “Beware — ‘Strike Of The Viper’ is now here… These demons can sting and bite their way into your brain, what world are they from? I would very much like to see this one send all mosh pits spinning into a blur as KK’s Priest deliver up some fast and furious metal. Strike after strike — just like the viper,” K.K. Downing said.
Besides Downing and Owens, the band’s current line-up also has: A.J. Mills (Guitar), Tony Newton (Bass) and Sean Elg (Drums).
