Apparemment en plus de leurs morceaux ils jouent aussi un medley de Black Sabbath et une cover de "Metal Thrashing Mad" (Anthrax).

BEYOND FEAR features Owens, guitarist John Comprix (13 FACES, SPAWN) and drummer Eric Elkins (ALL YOU FEAR). The band are currently in talks with several record labels about a possible deal, and a full-length album is expected to be recorded by the end of the year. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "I Don't Need This", "And You Will Die", "It Is Me", "Telling Lies" and "The Faith".

BEYOND FEAR

=> Debut album out on May 5, 2006 (Germany), May 8, 2006 (Europe), May 9 (USA)
=> Ex-Judas Priest and current Iced Earth vocalist Tim ‘Ripper’ Owen’s new band
=>Festival shows and club gigs beginning summer 2006

The rumours have been making the rounds for a while, now it’s official at last: Beyond Fear, former Judas Priest and current Iced Earth vocalist, Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens’ new band, are scheduled to release their self-titled debut album on Steamhammer/SPV on May 5, 2006 in Germany, May 8,2006 in Europe and May 9, 2006 in the USA. “I always knew that I would bring out an album featuring my own compositions one day,” Owen explains. “But I didn’t feel like a solo recording, I’d much rather perform my songs with a permanent band. That’s how Beyond Fear came about.”

The debut was recorded at the legendary Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida, under the direction of producer Jim Morris - a definite quality feature when it comes to the album’s sound and dynamics. Beyond Fear consist of Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens (vocals), John Comprix (rhythm & lead guitar), Dwane Bihary (rhythm guitar), Dennis Hayes (bass) and Eric Elkins (drums). The album consists of fourteen haunting metal numbers, which, according to Owens, “show unmistakably where my musical roots lie: in the classic heavy metal of the Eighties. However, I’ve transported that traditional metal style into the present, lending it its own touch.”

Tim "Ripper" Owens composed seven of the fourteen tracks on "Beyond Fear" on his own, the remaining seven were penned by Tim "Ripper" Owens together with guitarist John Comprix . “This is the best album I’ve ever recorded,” enthuses Owens, promising an extensive European tour starting summer 2006. And there seems to be no doubt in his mind about a continuation of his extremely successful collaboration with Iced Earth mastermind, Jon Schaffer: “I will definitely sing on the next Iced Earth album!”

album solo de Tim "Ripper" Owens!

Là au moins il est sûr de ne pas se faire virer

Avant de passer au prochain BEYOND FEAR, Owens planche sur cet album solo, avec la section rythmique de DIO (Simon Wright + Rudy Sarzo), et Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE) en invité.

Guitarist Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA) has revealed more information about his collaboration with singer Tim "Ripper" Owens' (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH) on a song for Tim's forthcoming solo CD. Caffery writes on his MySpace blog, "[On] Thursday September 4] I went into Bob Kulick's studio to record guitars for a song I wrote with Ripper for his new solo CD. The song is called 'The Shadows Are Alive'. Frickin' heavy tune! The studio is called Office Studios. Great place, it was awesome to work with Bob and his engineer Brett. The drums were played by Simon Wright [DIO, AC/DC] and I believe bass is coming soon from Mr. Rudy Sarzo [DIO, QUIET RIOT]! Not sure of Ripper's plan of attack but he said I could let you all know about the recording... This CD is going to smoke!"

Owens's forthcoming solo album will reportedly be released before the next BEYOND FEAR CD and will also feature a guest appearance by QUEENSRŸCHE guitarist Michael Wilton, among others.

Une seule chose à dire: yahhhhhhh!

[Holy Cross]

putain! y a du beau monde non de dieu! Curieux d'entendre ce que ça va donner

[Blaster]

J'espère qu'il a pensé à inviter Scott Columbus

[weik]

Ouais, il y a du beau monde en effet, ça peux donner un truc bien cool.
Honnetement Owens le mérite. Il a pas de cul ce mec alors qu'il a l'une des meilleures voix du circuit

[Mc Brain]

Si c'est bien, je me pencherais sur ce projet de Tim. J'aime bien ce mec quand même

Tim déclare que cet album solo était la volonté de son label et management...

D.X. Ferris of the Cleveland Free Times recently spoke to vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH) about Tim's forthcoming solo debut, which he has been recording in Los Angeles. Tentatively due in early 2009, the album will include guest appearances by Billy Sheehan (ex-MR. BIG, DAVID LEE ROTH), Rudy Sarzo (DIO, ex-OZZY OSBOURNE, QUIET RIOT, WHITESNAKE), David Ellefson (F5, ex-MEGADETH) and many other veterans. Bob Kulick (KISS, W.A.S.P.) and Chris Caffery (TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, SAVATAGE) collaborated on material with Owens while John Comprix, Tim's BEYOND FEAR bandmate, plays rhythm guitar and co-wrote some of the songs. Mike Callahan (DISENGAGE, EARSHOT) also contributed.

"[The solo record] was my management and label's decision," Owens told the Cleveland Free Times. "I think they want to show I can do this on my own. If anything, it proves that BEYOND FEAR is a band, and this is my solo record."

[Mr. Sandman]

Powerhouse American heavy metal vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH) will release his first solo album, "Play My Game", in May via SPV/Steamhammer. The offering consists of around a dozen brand-new tracks that Owens composed himself or together with renowned friends, such as Bob Kulick, Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Mike Callahan (ex-EARSHOT) and John Comprix (BEYOND FEAR, RINGWORM).

The list of guest musicians featured on Owens' solo debut is even more spectacular:

Bob Kulick
Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA)
Mike Callahan (ex-EARSHOT)
John Comprix (BEYOND FEAR, RINGWORM).
Doug Aldrich (WHITESNAKE)
Michael Wilton (QUEENSRŸCHE)
Jeff Loomis (NEVERMORE)
Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL)

Bass:

Marco Mendoza (ex-WHITESNAKE)

Dave Ellefson (ex-MEGADETH)
Rudy Sarzo (DIO, ex-OZZY OSBOURNE, QUIET RIOT)

Brett Chassen

Fans and experts alike will love this sensational all-star lineup and may rest assured that the haunting songs will effortlessly live up to this illustrious cast of musicians: Tim "Ripper" Owens has never sounded more impressive, melodic and multi-faceted!

"I've gotten better as a songwriter," Owens explains. "And I also write songs that the fans can really get into and get their fist pounding in the air. I've always been a great fan of the BLACK SABBATH lineup featuring Ronnie James Dio, and I love JUDAS PRIEST. Both bands delivered records that are straightforward and go directly to the bloodstream — which also happens to be my compositional approach."

"Play My Game" will be released on the following dates:

Germany, Austria, Switzerland: May 15
Rest of Europe: May 18
USA, Canada: May 19

du beau monde

[féfé]

Ca me ferait plaisir qu'il ponde un bon album

[Pierre]

Là au moins il est sûr de ne pas se faire virer

Si: il peut se faire virer par son label
En tout cas, il s'est bien entouré pour cet album solo, j'espère que ça sonnera mieux que Beyond Fear.

[hallowedhail]

J'ai hâte d'entendre ça, et je ne rigole même pas!

Pochette space mais original je trouve.

Sinon je suis curieux d'entendre ça!!!!

[féfé]

Pareil !

[Everflow]

Avec le line-up qui change à chaque morceau ça ressemble à mort aux compiles/tributes de Bob Kulick, et comme par hasard il participe à cet album... à voir, j'espère pour Owens que ça sonnera comme un album au final et pas comme une compile.

J'me faisais la même idée en voyant le nom de Kulick associé au projet

[Everflow]

Son line-up pour les concerts sera le suivant :

Tim "Ripper" Owens - Vocals

[Le G@SP]

[Everflow]

"Starting Over" a été remise en ligne, et c'est agréable d'entendre Owens chanter avec plus de feeling que d'habitude.

J'accroche pas des masses à "The Cover Up" par contre.

[Le G@SP]

j'ai chopé l'album hier et bon c'est pas ultra marquant, bon au moins il gueule pas à tout bout de champs, ça change mais c'est pas des compos ultimes non plus, je sais pas trop ce que ça va donner en live
