KK’s Priest has re-recorded Judas Priest’s 1974 track "Never Satisfied" with vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens. The new version, originally from the debut album Rocka Rolla, is accompanied by a music video directed by John Psaras and is available for premiere on BraveWords. The project follows the recent acquisition of the rights to Rocka Rolla and Sad Wings of Destiny by Reach Music, which has enabled the reissue of both albums. Rocka Rolla has already been released, with Sad Wings of Destiny set for release in November.

The re-recording offers a comparison between two of heavy metal’s most iconic vocalists: Rob Halford, who performed the original, and Ripper Owens, whose interpretation brings a distinct tonality to the song. According to KK Downing, both vocalists are equally capable of delivering the material with authenticity, and the project represents a celebration of the band’s long career.

KK’s Priest is currently touring North America with W.A.S.P., performing 21 shows in October. The tour, which spans from Cleveland to Anaheim, features two veteran acts with deep roots in 1980s metal. Downing described the shows as an "explosion of energy," with audiences engaging enthusiastically in classic songs spanning decades of the band’s career.

Tour dates include October 15 in Cleveland, October 16 in Milwaukee, October 17 in Green Bay, October 7 in Winnipeg, October 19 in Edmonton, October 21 in Calgary, October 23 in Coquitlam, October 25 in Seattle, October 27 in San Jose, October 29 in Rancho Mirage, October 30 in Las Vegas, and October 31 in Anaheim.
