In their explosive follow-up to the acclaimed 2021 debut, "Sermons Of The Sinner," KK's Priest delivers a blistering sonic assault with "The Sinner Rides Again." This album marks the continuing collaboration between iconic former Judas Priest figures, K.K. Downing and Tim "Ripper" Owens, and solidifies their position in the heavy metal pantheon.
Comprising nine incendiary tracks, this sophomore release is produced and penned by Downing himself, with Jacob Hansen at the helm for mixing and mastering. It's clear that the band has lost none of their edge since their chart-topping debut, which garnered top 20 spots in multiple countries, including the United States, the UK, Germany, Sweden, and Finland.
"The Sinner Rides Again" encapsulates all the vital elements that have made KK's Priest a force to be reckoned with—relentless energy, intricate guitar work, and Owens' soaring vocals. The chemistry between Downing and Owens is palpable, generating a maelstrom of metal mayhem that is both fresh and nostalgically gratifying.
From start to finish, "The Sinner Rides Again" is an unapologetic homage to classic heavy metal, yet it simultaneously pushes boundaries, offering listeners something new but unmistakably familiar. It is evident that the band is not merely resting on their laurels but is intent on carving out a legacy distinct from their Judas Priest origins. With this latest offering, KK's Priest has not only lived up to the high expectations set by their debut but has also raised the bar for what is to come. Prepare for another sinful ride; this album is not to be missed.
