KK’s Priest have premiered yet another taster of their debut album 'Sermons of the Sinner', this time the euphoric metal anthem ‘Raise Your Fists.’

Socially, ‘Raise Your Fists’ is firmly entrenched in the halcyon heavy metal days of the 1980s, and it nods heavily to K.K. Downing and Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens’ former band Judas Priest, and their fellow British metal legends Iron Maiden.

The song also features an obligatory and typically ferocious guitar solo from eponymous band founder K.K. Downing.

K.K. says of the ‘Raise Your Fists’ live performance video: “This video is emblematic of what you can expect to experience when the band hits the road.

“This song totally rejoices in everything rock and metal and is a clear indication that the band is raring to go, so get ready to ‘raise your fists’ with us when we hit the road!”

Watch KK’s Priest’s ‘Raise Your Fists’ video:

Released on Friday 1st October 2021, ‘Sermons of the Sinner’ is available to pre-order on various configurations including an exclusive limited edition autographed Metal Vinyl (Silver Disc) with bonus CD album via the band’s official website.

‘Raise Your Fists’ follows the previously high-octane KK’s Priest singles ‘Hellfire Thunderbolt’, the album title track ‘Sermons of the Sinner’ and ‘Wild And Free.’

With KK Downing on guitar, KK’s Priest also features former Judas Priest vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens who lent his idiosyncratic vocals to two studio albums Jugulator (1997) and ‘Demolition’ (2001) before Rob Halford returned to the group in 2003.

Original KK’s Priest drummer, Les Binks, who was a member of Judas Priest in the late seventies, sustained a wrist injury earlier this year and is no longer an official member of the project. Binks was replaced by Sean Elg, however he will make some guest appearances when KK’s Priest finally tour.

KK’s Priest are completed by Tony Newton (Voodoo Six) on bass, A.J. Mills (Hostile) on guitar.
