KK's Priest, the band featuring former Judas Priest members guitarist K.K. Downing and vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens alongside guitarist A.J. Mills, bassist Tony Newton, and drummer Sean Elg, has announced their upcoming record The Sinner Rides Again for September 29. KK's Priest is now streaming the first single "One More Shot At Glory" which, as you might've guessed, is very heavy metal.
"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," said Downing. "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."
Pre-orders for The Sinner Rides Again are available here.
Downing also spoke about KK's Priest signing with Napalm Records: "With a brand new record that needed placement with a great record label, we discussed the labels we liked, and Napalm Records was one of those companies. It's fair to say that Napalm is a leader in the heavy metal genre and has been for a long time now. They have a fantastic roster of both established and new bands and artists that are a force to be reckoned with.
"So it's a roster of some of the top and leading metal bands in the world today, and for the foreseeable future. I am pleased to say that we are excited about partnering with Napalm Records and we look forward to working together."
Sebastian Muench, Senior A&R, Napalm Records adds: "K.K. Downing has created, with the sophomore album The Sinner Rides Again, an absolutely brilliant heavy metal masterpiece – one, I believe, that will stand the test of time and will be listened to by metal fans around the world for many, many years. K.K. Downing is a genius and Tim 'Ripper' Owens' vocals are simply mesmerizing! Napalm Records is absolutely proud to help continue to build this legacy."
