Former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing is featured in a new interview with Finland's KaaosTV talking about his new band, KK's Priest, and the band's debut album, Sermons Of The Sinner. He also discusses his career with Judas Priest. Check it out below.
Downing on KK's Priest:
"I had no intention of forming a band. One thing led to another and I asked the band (Judas Priest) again 'Is the door open?' and they said, 'No, it's pernanently closed.' That Christmas, December 2019, I started to write an album and I did the whole thing in weeks. Then I put the band together around the album."
