Baltimore, Maryland – KK’s Priest on their first headlining tour bring classic heavy metal to Baltimore with support from Switzerland’s power metal quintet Burning Witches and California’s glam metal veterans L.A. Guns.
At 7:30, Burning Witches came out to start their set with a surprise, guitarist Romana Kalkuhl came out and sat down on the riser on the left side of the stage with her guitar. She missed the Atlanta show due to an injury and was not expected to play. While their set only consisted of six songs, they played one song from four of their five albums. They looked and sounded really good. If you have not seen Burning Witches, you should. Especially if you like power and classical metal, they do not disappoint.

I am not a big fan of hair metal, my taste runs more thrash and death but I was pleasantly surprised by L.A. Guns. I was expecting a certain amount of sleaze which we got, and a serious amount of heaviness that I didn’t expect. Most of the audience was older fans and they were not disappointed with L. A. Guns‘ set, which consisted of older material that went all the way back to their self-titled 1989 album. I was quite impressed with L. A. Guns and would definitely see them live again.

Seeing KK’s Priest took me back to teens and early 20’s when I was blowing it up to classic heavy metal. I preferred Judas Priest to Iron Maiden because of the heaviness and the attitude of the band. Simply put, KK’s Priest kicks ass!!!! Their set had a good mix of Judas Priest covers and original material to satisfy the most hardcore fan plus the attitude you would expect from such a band.
