KK's Priest - "Sermons of the Sinner" (video)

Sermons of the sinner
They will preach metal and steel
Sermons of the sinner
They will help our souls to heal

He came from molten metal
His furnaces ran red hot
Forged his way to glory
Should never be forgot
He raced across the planet
To every corner of the earth
He gave His life to metal
Sacrificed all his worth

Sermons of the sinner
They will preach metal and steel
Sermons of the sinner
They will help our souls to heal

For many they were our saviour
With sounds that cut the air
Mist of time is falling
Nothing left but despair

Sermons of the sinner
They will preach metal and steel
Sermons of the sinner
They will help our souls to heal

Sermons of the sinner
They will preach metal and steel
Sermons of the sinner
They will help our souls to heal

Time is running out for us
Things may never be the same
But the sermons of the sinner
They can help us rise again
We thank you all for all you mean to us
We will never forget your name
You were always loyal and true to us,
We hope one day we’ll meet again.

Sermons of the sinner
They will preach metal and steel
Sermons of the sinner
They will help our souls to heal... Repeat!

Τρία πρώην μέλη των Judas Priest δημιούργησαν πέρυσι τους KK's Priest. Πρόκειται για τον εμβληματικό κιθαρίστα των Priest (από το 1970 έως το 2011) KK Downing, τον τραγουδιστή Tim "Ripper" Owens και τον drummer Les Binks, ο οποίος στην πορεία (φέτος) αντικαταστάθηκε από τον Sean Elg (βλ. Cage, The Three Tremors, Nihilist κλπ). Την παρέα συμπληρώνουν ο κιθαρίστας A.J. Mills (Hostile) και ο μπασίστας Tony Newton (Voodoo Six). Το ντεμπούτο της μπάντας φέρει τον τίτλο "Sermons of the Sinner" κι αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του καλοκαιριού...

Δελτίο τύπου: «KK’s Priest - ‘Sermons of the Sinner’ - 10 new songs available on CD disc, single disc vinyl with bonus CD album, digital download and via streaming - is a musical statement that KK Downing's heavy metal ride is far from over after his extended hiatus.

“The whole concept is the fact that I continue proudly to be who I am and what I am and do what I do,” declares Downing. “It's been nearly 10 years. I'm back making music.” Downing assembled former Judas Priest singer Tim “Ripper” Owens, Hostile guitarist A.J. Mills, former Voodoo Six bassist Tony Newton, and DeathRiders / Cage drummer Sean Elg to create Sermons Of The Sinner.

Downing says the word “sinner” in the album title refers to his famous solo in that classic song of the same name, noting that fans are always hoping for new music to sound like the Judas Priest classics. KK’s Priest's new material is most certainly an homage.

They have unleashed an album with a modern sound that hearkens back to what fans have always loved about Downing and his music and which still sounds fresh. The high speed album opener “Hellfire Thunderbolt” offers a fictitious take on how metal arrived before the masses were ready for it.

Rousing rockers like “Raise Your Fists” and “Wild And Free” revel in the passion and excess that metal fans embrace. The guitar interplay is intense and inspiring, and the band is firing on all cylinders.»
