Greg Prato recently caught up with K.K. Downing for Heavy Consequence to discuss The Sinner Rides Again - the new album by his current band KK’s Priest - and asked him if there were any circumstances in which he’d consider working with Judas Priest again. “No. It’s done,” responded Downing.

K.K. also questioned Priest’s recent decision-making. “It’s so hard even for me to get my head around,” he remarked. “It doesn’t make any sense at all. And then they were talking about going out as a four-piece [in early 2022]. Apparently, they even preferred to do that, rather than have me back in the band. Just bad decisions after bad decisions, but what can I say? But that’s all in the past. It’s not me just whinging and whining about it — I think people should know the difference between propaganda and the truth.”
