Beyond Fear - Beyond Fear
SPV USA - SPV 99862 CD - 2006
By Brandon Strader
Tim 'Ripper' Owens is back after working with two highly popular groups: Judas Priest, and Iced Earth. This time, however, he is working with his own material in Beyond Fear which will be a live performing band, as opposed to Owens just doing a simple solo studio recording.
When the first song starts, you know you're in for a treat. Judas Priest seems to have a really deep influence upon Beyond Fear, which, depending on your tastes, may be good or bad. Owens's powerful falsetto will have you addicted as soon as it breaks into the first song, as well as the exciting instrumental performances, though the songwriting does seem a bit too formulaic.
After Priest and Iced Earth, this seems like a step in the right direction for Tim 'Ripper' Owens. At it's core, Beyond Fear is a fantastic heavy metal release that will leave you begging for more!
7.5/10
