Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens is a Grammy nominated American hard rock singer who first gained attention as the lead singer of Judas Priest (1996-2003) and then Iced Earth and Yngwie Malmsteen. Tim currently tours the World as a SOLO artist and performs as the Lead Singer for the band Charred Walls of the Damned with Richard Christy from the Howard Stern show, plus he also sings with Dio Disciples, which is a band celebrating the music of Ronnie James Dio with Ronnie’s band mates and friends.

Tim has also started a super group called Project Rock w/ James Kottak (Scorpions), Keri Kelli (Alice Cooper, Slashes Snackpit, John Waite) Rudy Sarzo (Whitesnake, Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio) Teddy Zig Zag (Guns N’ Roses, Carol King), Also, The movie Rockstar (Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston) was loosely based on Tim’s time in Judas Priest! Ripper is managed by Wendy Dio and Niji management! Ripper is fueled by Monster Energy Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens is without a doubt among the most important metal vocalists of the past ten years.

When he succeeded Rob Halford, joining Judas Priest in May 1996, the press rubbed their eyes, surprised as well as impressed: Owens had previously been a fairly unknown quantity to international music journalists and only a few new of him from the band Winters Bane, but he recorded his first Priest album, Grammy nominated Jugulator (1997) with more aplomb than even insiders had expected. Following successful tours with the British metal legends, the strong studio recording, Demolition (2001), and the live recordings, Meltdown – 98 Live (1998) and Live In London (2003), and the movie Rockstar, that was loosely based on Tim’s experience with Judas Priest, Halford’s return put an end to Owens’ stint with Judas Priest.

More or less immediately, he was enlisted by Jon Schaffer to team up with Iced Earth and sang on The Glorious Burdon in spring 2004. Three years later, Owens followed suit with the Iced Earth album, Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Pt.I), which succeeded the self-titled highly praised debut by his own band, Beyond Fear. Spring 2008 saw Owens move on to join One of the worlds best guitar players Yngwie Malmsteen, debuting with a sensational vocal performance on Perpetual Flame.
