KK’S PRIEST FRONTMAN, TIM ‘RIPPER’ OWENS GUESTS ON NEW ‘HELD HOSTAGE’ ALBUM
Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens has been busy; following the release of the KKs Priest album ‘Sermons of the Sinner‘, Ripper has found himself guesting on a number of different albums.
Not one to sit on his laurels, he now finds himself guesting once again with all American rockers ‘Held Hostage’ on their new album, due for release on May 6th.
The album is described as “American rock and roll at the purest form” by Cry Wolf Magazine and will be released digitally and on compact disc on FireRock Music.
Check out the album teaser below:
FireRock Music Groups, Scott Braun,Creative Director/A & R, Says. “This is a band rich in rock n roll history and they bring with them, a great fan base and they feature some rock legends, on their new record. When I first heard the new record Great American Rock, we knew we had to sign them.”
Tom Collier founding member/ lead guitarist/lead singer, “I wanted to get back to the roots of American Rock n Roll. Being able to bring Tim “Ripper” Owens back for a second album with us was such a thrill. I produced the album but I have to say, giving Ripper free reign on his vocals and taking suggestions from him, made this record exactly what we call it, Great American Rock. We also take on the issue of suicide of all ages, with our song Rise. This is a side of Ripper the world has never seen.”
Held Hostage is:
Tom Collier – lead guitar/lead vocals
Scott Gregg – rhythm guitarist/backup vocals
Jeff Murray – drums
Dave Carrol – bass /backup vocals
