Winters Bane
By law, bands such as Winters Bane must go through a period where
they are referred to as "so-and-so's former band"
(
Flotsam & Jetsam carried this mantle for years).
Winters Bane is the former home of Tim "Ripper" Owens,
who of course went
gone on to admirably fill the shoes of Rob Halford in
Judas Priest
and has more recently sung with
Iced Earth
and his new band,
Beyond Fear.
But this is guitarist Lou St. Paul's band, as evidenced by the
everchanging lineups over the course of their three albums.
It's the debut,
Heart Of A Killer (the only one to feature Ripper)
that is their best-known album, a classy power metal with Owens
of course shining brightly.
They last recorded in 2006 and may be done.
