K.K. Downing says about The Sinner Rides Again:
"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. 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."

[@paulwylie4380]

How to compare the music of KK's Priest to the music we used to listen to growing up in the 70's and 80's? Monstrously, Massively, what the kids need to hear today! Sabbath is pretty much gone. Mettalica is on the way out. Of all the metal bands left from the era, Owens and Kk make the genre relevant again! My 62 year old neck hurts from banging my head to their songs.............

[@michaelmessina5341]

That is some killer old school sounding metal right there........

[@ibleedwhiskeyplanet1544]

To be honest I never thought K.K. retired, I thought he was pushed out by the others. I am glad to see the path he has blazed with his comeback. True HEAVY FUCKING METAL. I don't know what the problem was, but I raise my metal fist in the air in support of this MASTER OF metal, Mr. K.K. Downing.

[@amess6232]

What I read was that he wanted to retire and took a golf management course. He got his diploma in that and opened his own golf course. However, still sad that they others won't let him back in even though K.K is one of the founding members..

[@fus149hammer5]

​@amess6232 I heard he decided to walk out of the band half way through a tour leaving them in the lurch because he wanted to buy an old stately home near his home and turn it into a spa hotel and golf course. That fell through leaving him out on his own. He's sold his rights to Priests music for a lump sum too. Exactly how accurate this is I'm not sure but I can understand the band not wanting him back after the way he treated them.

[@rjc7289]

Basically what ames and fus said. K.K. wanted out of JP so he could invest in a golf course / 5-star hotel in Shropshire. That all went belly up, forcing him to sell his JP publishing as well as several guitars and amps from his personal collection. He wants back into JP now, and I can't blame him, because that's where the money is. They'll always be a way bigger draw than KK's Priest. Let's face it -- the only reason he called it KK's Priest was because he thought the connection to JP and having ex JP singer Tim "Ripper" Owens in the band would make his new band more profitable. They were also supposed to have ex JP drummer Les Binks too, but that didn't happen for whatever reason. Basically, he needs to get the money rolling in again, and without his JP publishing and his horde of valuable vintage guitars, he's running out of options.

[@rushshukla4636]

KK Downing is a heavy metal soldier and veteran. A metal icon. The man has earned his place in the history of heavy metal despite a bitter divorce. I'm just so happy that he gets to play more lead with his own band now he's free to do whatever he wants.

[@fus149hammer5]

@rushshukla4636 Agreed 👍. He's been playing since he was a teenager, it's all he knows and he's damned good at it. I mean what else could he do at his age? he was born to rock. I first got into Priest when they released Take On The World on vinyl. It wasn't that song that hooked me it was the B side Starbreaker. I've never looked back. 🤘

[@simonr6643]

KK never lost the Judas Priest style. Best of luck for your tour KK. This is real metal the tpye I grew up with and proud of growing up with

[@truemetalhead2012]

KK is Judas Priest and his two albums prove it

KK Downing Legend

[@retrometal]

This song is a classic.

[@TruthnautBegins]

This week I was watching KK's performance with his old band at the Rock Hall Of Fame. Notice Halford seemed to aim certain lyrics at KK while they were playing 'Breaking The Law' when he sang "So much for that golden future, I can't even start!".

[@user-fi1uz6zm8s]

Man that is Kick-Ass years and years of experience compressed in the one song like that. Unreal. Better than I thought it was going to be. It stands on its own. It is it's own thing. I can clearly distinguish the difference from this and Judas Priest.

[@mikedixon8830]

Ripper simply is one of the best singers of the metal. His contribution is always top notch.

[@jasoncofer8239]

So amazing!!

[@jasontaylor7268]

Palpatine cloned Ripper using DNA from Rob Halford. lol

[@JV-vi8st]

There is a reason why Rob Halford won’t sing Tim’s songs as part of the Judas Priest catalog. He simply doesn’t have the aggression and the range that Tim the Ripper Owens brings to the table 🤘

[@M4ruta]

So glad I got to see Judas Priest before KK Downing left the band and Tipton was struck by Parkinson. I don't think there's a more iconic metal duo. Good to see that KK is still kicking ass!

[@shariquinn7679]

Kk killing it, absolutely love my KK. I was devastated when he left priest, i have been a priest fan since 12..im 56 and priest will always be my band, i wish KK never left, but thus project is amazing.

You can never have too much Priest in any form. Glad to see KK still rocking!

[@amess6232]

I agree, I've listened to Judas Priest since I was 8. I liked Glen Tipton's solo album, I didn't care for "Fight" and I totally hated "Two". I liked Halford and really like K.K's stuff.

[@fredcalon961]

This is one of the greatest metal songs I have heard in very recent years. I cannot help but think about Napoleon: “La mort n'est rien, mais vivre vaincu et sans gloire, c'est mourir chaque jour.” The crave for one more shot glory lead him to his final fall.

[@grissarte6834]

This song proves that KK Downing was definitely an essential and most important part of JP. Without.him Priest is just not the same. Don't get me wrong, I love Glenn Tipton playing as much as I love KK's, but unfortunately he can't no longer perform and tour with the band because of Parkinson's. Anyways I'd love to see KK and Richie Faulkner played on the same stage with the rest of the band.

[@jamespearrell6403]

I always loved Tim Owens as a singer in any band he was in

[@SecretWeapon62578]

While the Tipton/ Downing guitar partnership was ostensibly an equal partnership, I felt that KK's talents were often underutilized in Priest for whatever reason, and this song is the latest proof. I mean, this song manages to be 100 percent true metal while still being creative (see that intro, and the arrangement of this song in general), something a lot of bands these days don't really pull off.

I see it as having 2 Judas Priest's. The Halford era and the Ripper Owens era.

[@SteveGarnski]

I prefer this over the regular JP.. As much as i respect Halford, his voice is nothing like it used to be. The Ripper is like 20 years younger than him and it shows.

[@AgusVilla1.]

I guess this is what was going to happen with Priest if Halford didn't come back in 2003. This is the musical direction KK wanted since Ripper joined back in the day, and he was super disappointed on that once the idea was not going to happen.
