There have been rumors of Tim "Ripper" Owens
(Beyond Fear, Iced Earth, and Ex-Judas Priest) singing on next Winters Bane
album. I wanted to let everyone know exactly what's going on. Tim and I have
been talking for some time, off and on about recording a sequel to "Heart of a
Killer" our 1993 release. In the last month or so Tim and I both agreed that if
the right conditions were met, like the right label, contract, tour support and
other details, we would put forth our best effort, making of course, another
"Killer" album, and do a major tour. At this point Wendy Dio Niji Management is
still accepting offers from labels and will continue to do so until the begining
of next year.
We've had some ideas for the making the follow up
for some time. We have both been busy in other projects and until recently have
been fortunate enough cross paths again. So keep your fingers crossed and you
might have another Winters Bane/Ripper album in 08.
Peace,
Lou St. Paul
