BEYOND FEAR: New Audio Interview With TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS Available For Download

April 25, 2006

Danish rock magazine www.revolution-music.dk has uploaded a brand new audio interview with BEYOND FEAR frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST, also currently in ICED EARTH). Download the 10-minute MP3 file at this location (14 MB).

BEYOND FEAR is the new Ohio-based band featuring Owens alongside guitarist John Comprix (SPAWN, 13 FACES),Dennis Hayes (ex-WINTERS BANE, SEVEN WITCHES) on bass, Dwane Bihary (MISSING SKIN) on rhythm guitar, and drummer Eric Elkins (CRYPTKICKER, ALL YOU FEAR). The band are currently touring Europe as the opening act for ANTHRAX.

As previously reported, a Real Audio streaming preview of the track "And...You Will Die", taken from BEYOND FEAR's upcoming self-titled debut album, has been posted online at this location.

"Beyond Fear" is scheduled for release on May 9 (one day earlier internationally) via SPV Records. The CD was recorded at the legendary Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida, under the direction of producer Jim Morris. The album consists of 12 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."

"I always knew that I would bring out an album featuring my own compositions one day," Owens explained in a press release. "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."
