This past Saturday at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles, CA, heavy metal kings KK’S PRIEST – featuring Judas Priest alum and GRAMMY Award winning/nominated musicians K.K. Downing (guitar) and Tim “Ripper” Owens (vocals) – and Teutonic metal originators ACCEPT kicked off the most iconic metal tour of the season. The tour is stopping in a slew of major cities in the USA and Canada before coming to an end in San Francisco, CA on October 7, so get your tickets now before they’re gone!
In celebration of the tour’s kickoff, KK’S PRIEST has revealed a brand new music video for their latest album’s title track, “The Sinner Rides Again”. Featuring mythical, dark fantasy imagery, astonishing, soaring vocals by Tim “Ripper” Owens and high flying guitar solos from K.K. Downing and A.J. Mills – who together are redefining the seminal metal guitar duo for a new generation – the video enters the band’s catalog as one of their most epic to date!
In 2023, KK’S PRIEST unveiled their blistering sophomore offering, The Sinner Rides Again, to rave reviews! Blabbermouth dubbed it “an absolutely ripping metal record”, while Paste stated, “…with all respect to Rob Halford and co., nothing they’ve produced in recent years feels as dynamic and as heavy as the material that their former guitarist has been forging with his project KK’S PRIEST.” The album debuted at #1 on the US Hard Music Albums chart, #3 on the Top New Artist Albums chart and #6 on the Current Rock Albums chart. The Sinner Rides Again also landed at #6 on the end of year NACC Heavy radio chart, while resulting as one of the top spun albums of the year at Metal Contraband.
With The Sinner Rides Again, KK’S PRIEST double down on the ripping melodic force of their debut, Sermons Of The Sinner – which Metal Hammer UK dubbed “hugely enjoyable” and Metal Injection cited as boasting “catchy hooks and plenty of guitar wizardry”. The Sinner Rides Again wields nine tracks of pure hellfire, produced and written by Downing and mixed/mastered by Jacob Hansen. The celebrated new album is a call for the classics while speeding full force into the future, delivered by some of heavy metal’s most essential performers.
