Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex-Judas Priest, Iced Earth) is featured in a new interview with Daniel Stefanov at Metal Temple discussing playing festivals versus small clubs, singing Ronnie James Dio's songs for Dio Disciples, and whether he would rejoin Judas Priest if he was given the chance.
A dream team of renowned metal musicians, including Tim "Ripper" Owens , Chris Caffery (Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Steve Di Giorgio (Testament, Death, etc.) and Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, Warlord), has been put together under the direction of renowned LA-based producer Roy Z Ramirez (Bruce Dickinson, Halford, Tribe Of Gypsies).
Called Spirits Of Fire (after the title of one of their songs), the band is currently halfway through recording their debut album. The music can best be described as “classic Priest meets Savatage”.
“It's going to be a great album!” says producer Roy Z. Fans can look forward to a release in the early part of 2018.
Stay tuned for updates.
