Former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing‘s new band KK’S PRIEST has released the official music video for the high-energy anthem “Sons Of The Sentinel”. “Sons Of The Sentinel” is taken from KK’S PRIEST‘s sophomore album, “The Sinner Rides Again“, which came out in September via the Austrian label Napalm Records.
Watch “Sons Of The Sentinel” below.
Downing says about “Sons Of The Sentinel”: “Following the epic ‘Return Of The Sentinel’, it was inevitable that this sequel would evolve. The history of these intergalactic mercenaries has to justifiably continue as long as there is metal in our veins.
“It was with great sorrow that our first great father, and warlord, met his demise upon his return, but the powers of those that would be have initiated an even more powerful force to be the protectors of the entire universe. Though — heed the warning — you must always beware to never stand in their way because they are a force that are like no other and have never been seen before! They are the ‘Sons Of The Sentinel’.”
Downing says about “The Sinner Rides Again”: “To continue the legacy of the traditional rock and metal that I have been so fortunate to be a part of for over 50 years, this latest album, ‘The Sinner Rides Again’, has been created to take the listener on a journey that is both real and fictional with its characters, although sometimes ambiguous. These songs allow the imaginations of all fans of this wonderful genre of music to escape reality and join with us to continue our heavy metal experience into the future.”
Downing adds regarding the band’s signing with Napalm Records: “With a brand new record that needed placement with a great record label, we discussed the labels we liked, and Napalm Records was one of those companies. It’s fair to say that Napalm is a leader in the heavy metal genre and has been for a long time now. They have a fantastic roster of both established and new bands and artists that are a force to be reckoned with. So it’s a roster of some of the top and leading metal bands in the world today, and for the foreseeable future. I am pleased to say that we are excited about partnering with Napalm Records and we look forward to working together.”
Sebastian Münch, senior A&R at Napalm Records, adds: “K.K. Downing has created, with the sophomore album ‘The Sinner Rides Again’, an absolutely brilliant heavy metal masterpiece — one, I believe, that will stand the test of time and will be listened to by metal fans around the world for many, many years. K.K. Downing is a genius and Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens‘s vocals are simply mesmerizing! Napalm Records is absolutely proud to help continue to build this legacy.”
