Tune of the Week for 05/05/08 -- Scream Machine, Beyond Fear

May 5, 2008

Eventually, I'm going to do a whole series on this guy. His name is Tim "Ripper" Owens, and he was discovered by Judas Priest and eventually sang for them as well as Iced Earth, one of my very favorite bands of all time. I've heard him interviewed, and he's an extremely down-to-earth fellow who speaks highly of being a father.

Anyway, the Ripper has got an unbelievable, colossal voice, and when I heard he had finally formed his own band, it was a must. The entire album is a very good listen, and putting it on the player brings back memories of Wyoming. We had it playing in the car nearly the entire trip.

I woke up this morning with "Scream Machine" in my head, and so I've decided to play it. You should see Heather do her "troll dance" to it. Wish I had a video camera.

Next week, I've decided to start a series on "Hetta Music". Should be fun.
