\"I always knew that I would bring out an album featuring my own compositions one day. But I didn’t feel like a solo recording, I’d much rather perform my songs with a permanent band. That’s how Beyond Fear came about.\"

The debut was recorded at the legendary Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida, under the direction of producer Jim Morris - a definite quality feature when it comes to the album’s sound and dynamics.

Beyond Fear, featuring Eric Elkins (photo) on drums, has managed to nail down fourteen haunting metal numbers. According to Owens:

“[The songs] show unmistakably where my musical roots lie: in the classic heavy metal of the Eighties. However, I’ve transported that traditional metal style into the present, lending it its own touch.”

Tim \"Ripper\" Owens composed seven of the fourteen tracks on \"Beyond Fear\" on his own, the remaining seven were penned by Owens together with guitarist John Comprix.
