KK's Priest - 'Sermons of the Sinner' live at Bloodstock 2023

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!

Προ τετραετίας ο KK Downing και ο David Ellefson σχημάτισαν project υπό το όνομα MegaPriest για μία εμφάνιση. Αυτό έδωσε την ιδέα στον έμπειρο κιθαρίστα για τους KK's Priest, τους οποίους δημιούργησαν τρία πρώην μέλη των Judas 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 αντικαταστάθηκε (για λόγους υγείας) 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).

Στην παρούσα ανάρτηση θα παρακολουθήσουμε τους KK's Priest να αποδίδουν "ζωντανά" το ομότιτλο τραγούδι του ντεμπούτου τους ("Sermons of the Sinner"). Που και πότε έγιναν όλα αυτά; Στο μουσικό φεστιβάλ Bloodstock τον περασμένο Αύγουστο, με το δελτίο τύπου των διοργανωτών να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:
