Former JUDAS PRIEST Singer 'RIPPER' OWENS: More Solo Project Details Revealed - Apr. 5, 2005

Former JUDAS PRIEST and current ICED EARTH frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens is currently shopping a five-song CD from his solo project, tentatively dubbed BEYOND FEAR. Songs featured on the CD are as follows:

01. I Don't Need This
02. And You Will Die
03. It Is Me
04. Telling Lies
05. The Faith

BLABBERMOUTH.NET had an opportunity to hear the recording, which boasts a thick, heavy riffing style and extremely powerful vocals from Owens. Traces of JUDAS PRIEST, PANTERA and BLACK SABBATH are all present along with a healthy dose of double-bass drumming, which adds a modern edge to what is essentially a traditional metal approach.

As previously reported, Owens will be joined on his upcoming solo album by guitarist John Comprix (13 FACES, SPAWN) and an as-yet-undetermined drummer (original choice ICED EARTH's Bobby Jarzombek recently decided against becoming involved with the project). A tentative late 2005/early 2006 release is expected.

	I'd like to be wrong. I hope the music is really good & doesn't sound like cliche metal, only time will tell.

	COMMENT \| Want to hear This posted by : egidizzy 4/5/2005 8:36:55 PM

	Ripper took getting bumped out of JP with nothing but class. I respect him for handling it the way he did. Plus, the guy can flat-out sing.

	COMMENT \| Hope some samples are out soon posted by : JayinOhio 4/5/2005 10:45:26 PM

	Hopefully Tim will put out a few samples of the songs soon..I'd love to hear 'em too.
