The track will appear on the group’s debut album, “Sermons Of The Sinner”, which will arrive on August 20.
The set features a Downing-led lineup that includes former Judas Priest vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens, as well as guitarist A.J. Mills (Hostile), bassist Tony Newton (Voodoo Six) and drummer Sean Elg (Cage, The Three Tremors).
“We are delighted to finally be able to release our first track to the world,” says Downing. “It gives a real flavor of the sound and showcases the amazing players I've got in this band. We can't wait for the fans to hear the record."
Formed in Birmingham in 1969, Downing joined an early version of Judas Priest in 1970 fronted by original vocalist Al Atkins; it was the arrival of singer Rob Halford in 1973 and their debut album, “Rocka Rolla”, a year later that launched the band on an international basis.
Downing – who published his memoir, “Heavy Duty: Days And Nights In Judas Priest”, in 2018 – retired from the veteran metal band in 2011, and was replaced by Richie Faulkner; Owens was in the Priest lineup from 1996-2003.
