KK's Priest - Raise Your Fists (Official Music Video)

'Raise Your Fists' from the brand new, debut album by KK's Priest, 'Sermons of the Sinner'. Order now: kkspriest.lnk.to/album
KK’s Priest - the new band formed by KK Downing, the founder of Judas Priest.
-----
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, 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.

Thirty three years ago I was listening to "Ram It Down" for the very first time after buying it with a friend. Then my friend asked me a philosophical question: What kind of music would we listen to when we were forty years old? Hell yeah! I'm almost fifty and I'm banging my head with this video!

[@olegyd]

KK made us young again bro

[@kalter_wind]

I'm 61. Into Metal since around 1972. Why would I stop listening to it?

[@motorprincipal]

@@kalter_wind The only possible answer to that question would be: "because everything you were as a young it was a lie, Bro".

[@Sean-fv4wi]

Exactly. Many get into music when they're young wanting to be cool with their friends. A lot of them 'grow out of it' when they get older. But when you reach midlife & are the only person you know still listening to it & people look at my music collection & think 'what a nerd', I just laugh to myself cos they really don't get it... As cheesy as it may sound, metal is a way of life, not a trend. The few & the proud live & breathe this shit for life \m/ \m/

[@mattjackson9859]

I wonder how many people listened to metal in their teens, get into their mid 20s and think they've grown out of it. Later, in their 30s look at a long unplayed Priest, Maiden or whatever CD and think "haha, I used to be into this stuff", and put it on for a laugh. Then they go "Shit! I forgot how good this is!" and the volume goes UP! There's a lot of catching up to do...
