In 2023, KK’S PRIEST unveiled their blistering sophomore offering, ‘The Sinner Rides Again’, to rave reviews! Blabbermouth dubbed it “an absolutely ripping metal record”, while Paste stated, “…with all respect to Rob Halford and co., nothing they’ve produced in recent years feels as dynamic and as heavy as the material that their former guitarist has been forging with his project KK’S PRIEST.” The album debuted at #1 on the US Hard Music Albums chart, #3 on the Top New Artist Albums chart, and #6 on the Current Rock Albums chart. ‘The Sinner Rides Again’ also landed at #6 on the end-of-year NACC Heavy radio chart, resulting as one of the top spun albums of the year at Metal Contraband. With ‘The Sinner Rides Again’, KK’S PRIEST double down on the ripping melodic force of their debut, ‘Sermons Of The Sinner’ – which Metal Hammer UK dubbed “hugely enjoyable” and Metal Injection cited as boasting “catchy hooks and plenty of guitar wizardry”. ‘The Sinner Rides Again’ wields nine tracks of pure hellfire, produced and written by Downing and mixed/mastered by Jacob Hansen. The celebrated new album is a call for the classics while speeding full force into the future, delivered by some of heavy metal’s most essential performers. |
