KK's Priest - Sermons Of The Sinner (10/1/2021)

[Guitars In Paradise]

SERMONS OF THE SINNER is an incredible collection of future metal classics, sure to be one of the stand-out metal releases of 2021.

With Downing on guitar, KK's PRIEST also features ex-Judas Priest member Tim "Ripper" Owens on vocals, who fronted the band for eight years and recorded two studio albums, Jugulator, featuring the GRAMMY® nominated track "Bullet Train," and Demolition, plus two live albums. They are joined by Tony Newton (Voodoo Six) on bass, A.J. Mills (Hostile) on guitar and Sean Elg (DeathRiders/Cage) on drums.

I’ll disagree about “future classics” part. His first few song releases sounded pretty generic to my ears.

 

[zekmoe]

I like it.

That sounds more like Priest then.......Priest.

I'm not sure how I missed this, if it's been out since January.

 

[amigo30]

Just listened to it loud, on big speakers. It’s great stuff.

Kk was the founding member. He wrote The Ripper. Sad Wings.....KK IS Priest. Judas Priest and KKs Priest are playing on the same night..........I'm going to see KK.

 

[HoboMan]

Sounded like Iron Maiden.
KK's fretboard is very scalloped.

That's all I got.

sounds great. The song premise and lyrics are the most anti-metal pop yuck I've heard to date. "Raise your fists at the rock concert"...FFS

 

[monwobobbo]

not bad. i'd go see them if they come here.

It's great to see KK back out there, making new music. Ripper is a great choice of vocalist obviously when looking to bring the JP vibe. However, as some noted - these tracks are quite generic and derivative. Thus, making this release a bit of a guilty pleasure type listen for me personally. I hope they tour, I will be there.

You say that like it's a bad thing.......?

 

[beckstriad]

I love this. Ripper is such a great vocalist.

 

[Ozone Baby]

I like it better than the tracks I've heard from the last Judas Priest and Iron Maiden albums.
The drummer is a standout.

Did KK always play with a scalloped board?
Either way, his solo was cool.

 

[twotone]

Are they playing through amps? All I can hear is treble - no middle or bass.
