Favorite Ripper Owens album

Hard one as I love Beyond Fear and Winter's Bane but The Glorious Burden with Iced Earth gets the nod.

Same.


That was the last truly great Iced Earth album as well IMO.

I'm not that much into IE but I loved TGB. So I'll go with that one.

I really like the last three.

Winters Bane - "Heart of a Killer" and Brainicide - "Brutal Mentality" by a LONG shot.

I forget about Brainicide, need to give another listen.

It's wild thrash a bit like Vio-lence but with Ripper's style on vocals.

My thoughts exactly.

Does he have a solo career that this is referring to or is this just sbt albums with him in it?

Both.

Okay, then probably Gazing at Medusa (tho tbf I think that's the only one I've heard, so...)

1. Charred Walls of the Damned - s/t

2. Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden

3. KK’s Priest - The Sinner Rides Again

Charred Walls never did it for me, even with that amazing lineup.

Another crummy supergroup.

Everyone forgets that the #1 most important member is the songwriter.
