KK's Priest are an English heavy metal band, formed by former Judas Priest guitarist, K. K. Downing in 2020.
History [ edit ]
Downing left Judas Priest in 2011, citing "an on-going breakdown in working relationships between myself, elements of the band and management for some time."[1] He did not perform live again until 2019, when he played at Bloodstock Open Air festival with former Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss .[2] [3] He also played a one off show in Wolverhampton on 3 November 2019, along with former Judas Priest members Tim "Ripper" Owens (vocals) and Les Binks (drums), then-current Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and Hostile guitarist A.J. Mills.[4] [5]
In January 2020, Downing signed with Explorer1 Music Group, which would pair him with veteran manager Andy Gould, and announced that he would work on brand-new music.[6] The following month, it was announced that Downing had formed a new band, KK's Priest, with Mills, Owens and Binks and bassist Tony Newton.[7] [8] [9] [10]
The band's debut album Sermons of the Sinner was originally scheduled to be released on 20 August 2021, but was postponed until 1 October.[11] A music video for the album's lead single, "Hellfire Thunderbolt", was released on 12 May 2021. However, Binks did not appear on the album as a result of a wrist injury and was replaced by Cage drummer Sean Elg. Later, Binks would occasionally perform live with KK's Priest.[12] [13]
When speaking to KNAC in June 2021 about Sermons of the Sinner , Downing said that he was already at work on material for the next album, which would be more of a collaboration effort than the first album.[14] In 2023, KK's Priest released their second album The Sinner Rides Again .[15]
