ripper owens

This week is our 8th installment of, “Degrees Of Separation…” where we discuss the more obscure side projects and solo releases from some not-so-obscure artists. This week we pay homage to the rock n’ roll rags to riches story that is the metal god-like voice that is Tim “Ripper” Owens. He inspired a major motion picture, not to mention gave opportunities to countless other singers from tribute bands to perhaps be considered as the replacement for the real deals. This guy has some of the most sought-after pipes of the last 25 years. All hear our warning; never turn your back on The Ripper!

New to InObscuria? It’s all about excavating obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While we may be talking about bands that you know intimately in this episode, perhaps you are not aware of the depth of side projects they have had over their careers. Our hope is that we turn you on to something new!

Songs this week include:

1. Ripper - “Embattled” from Embattled - Single (2022)
2. Winter’s Bane - “Heart Of A Killer” from Heart Of A Killer (1993)
3. Yngwie J. Malmsteen - “Damnation Game” from Perputual Flame (2008)
4. Operation: Mindcrime - “Taking On The World (feat. Ripper Owens & Blaze Bayley)” from Resurrection (2016)
5. Charred Walls Of The Damned - “Creating Our Machine” from Charred Walls Of The Damned (2010)
6. Iced Earth - “Valley Forge” from The Glorious Burden (2004)

This week we dig up an old series for the 5th installment of, “Degrees Of Separation…” where we discuss the more obscure side projects and solo releases from some not-so-obscure artists. Continuing a discussion that began a few weeks ago that has since percolated into a flurry of InObscuria social media debates, we bring to you, IRON MAIDEN versus JUDAS PRIEST! Who’s metal side projects will reign supreme???

While we may be talking about bands that you know intimately in this episode, perhaps you are not aware of the depth of side projects they have had over their long careers. Our hope is that we turn you on to something new and that we resolve the age-old question: MAIDEN or PRIEST???
