KK's Priest, the new project from former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing and vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens, will release their debut album, Sermons Of The Sinner, on August 20.

During a recent interview with Jason Saulnier, which can be heard below, "Ripper" spoke about the new music, saying: "Here's the thing about the record. K.K. Downing is writing like K.K. Downing. He wrote songs that he has moulded and done his whole career. This guy's lived and breathed one thing and that was Judas Priest and writing that type of material - that's what he loves. When you talk to him about it, he loves it. That's what this record is. When anybody ever says, 'I wish there was something different' - listen, we're not inventing the wheel here. We've got to do what we love, and we do that now. It's not time to invent something new... it's a fantastic record, the lyrics are great... it's great stuff."
