On August 20th, former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing guested on the The Rock 'N Talk Show and discussed his tcomeback and the rise of his new band, KK's Priest. Check out the interview below.

Downing on choosing the name KK's Priest:

"I'm so proud to have been not just a witness to, but to be a part of that evolution (of Judas Priest). And so, when this happened after all of those decades (leaving Judas Priest and not being welcomed back), it's impossible just to have a cut-off point and start again and call the band The Flying Tornadoes or something obscure. It just doesn't work. I can't just let the legacy and my heritage and all of those decades just be flushed down the pan. I don't wanna throw it all away. I want to rejoice in it and bring some of all of that magic and that nostalgia into the present and into the future with us, and so I just couldn't really let it go. The guys that are playing in Judas Priest now, I haven't even met them, and if they can be a Priest, well, I can certainly be a Priest as well."

KK's Priest, the band comprised of renowned former Judas Priest guitarist, K.K. Downing and former vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens, have released the single “Brothers Of The Road” off their forthcoming Sermons Of The Sinner album. Listen below. The album comes out via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records on October 1st.
