TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS Continues Work On New BEYOND FEAR Album





Current DIO DISCIPLES/former JUDAS PRIEST/ICED EARTH/YNGWIE MALMSTEEN
singer Tim "Ripper" Owens and his band are continuing work on the
follow-up to BEYOND FEAR's self-titled debut from 2006.


"Rhythm guitars, bass and drums are done for the new Beyond Fear,"
the band update. "Solos and harmonies next, and of course Mr. Ripper
Owens!!!"





Beyond Fear are currently laying down the new material at Empire
Studios in Cleveland, OH. The album is due out later this year on an
as-yet-unspecified label, following the band's split from
Steamhammer/SPV.


Beyond Fear 2013 also feature RINGWORM guitarists John Comprix and
Matt Sorg, drummer Eric Elkins (CRYPTKICKER) and bassist Ed Stephens.


Owens, who missed Dio Disciples appearance on The Monsters Of Rock
Cruise (that sailed from March 16th and sail till the 20th from Fort
Lauderdale, FL to Nassau, Bahamas and back), will perform a two-hour set
of classics on April 5th in Wilmington, DE at Mojo13 and April 6th at
Cage 611 in Frederick, MD.
