Frontiers Music Srl is known for building new bands/projects featuring musicians of outstanding quality and who come from unique backgrounds. After an intense brainstorming session, a dream team of renowned metal musicians including Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH), Chris Caffery (SAVATAGE, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Steve DiGiorgio (TESTAMENT, DEATH) and Mark Zonder (ex-FATES WARNING, WARLORD) was born and put together under the direction of renowned Los Angeles-based producer Roy Z. (BRUCE DICKINSON, HALFORD, TRIBE OF GYPSIES).

Called SPIRITS OF FIRE (after the title of one of their songs), the band has completed work on their debut album which is set for release on February 22 via Frontiers Music Srl. The music can best be described as "classic JUDAS PRIEST meets SAVATAGE."

Today, SPIRITS OF FIRE has released its first video and single, "Light Speed Marching". Check it out below.

Caffery said: "My influences for writing on this record were the bands that we were and are still in! I wanted to write songs that PRIEST, SAVATAGE, TESTAMENT and FATES WARNING fans would like. But I wanted them to have a personality of their own as well. To give it a vibe that was SPIRITS OF FIRE! I grew up listening to JUDAS PRIEST and spent 30-plus years working with Jon Oliva and Paul O'Neill with SAVATAGE and TSO. Many years playing Criss's music. These influences for me came naturally! Especially because I'm a fan of all of our bands!

Story continues after advertisement

"This was the first time that I ever worked with Roy and it was so much fun. I have been a huge fan of his work for a long time. He's written music, played on, and produced some of my favorite metal albums ever. He had a difficult job bringing this all together and I can't think of anyone that would have been a better producer and co-worker for this album!"

Added Owens: "I always just sing to the song, whatever I feel it should be. It's like a character thing! I like layers! This music is really perfect for me and in my natural wheel house. I like to sing all over the place and change it up and this all happens on this album. This is just the start of an amazing band, I mean sky is the limit and I actually can't wait to record the next album, because this one is so great and perfect."

Zonder stated: "I am the kind of player that plays what I think fits best with the music. With SPIRITS OF FIRE, the music was more aggressive and hard hitting which I really liked. Again, I tried to be very mindful of the song and the vocals, but tried to add parts that were interesting and creative for the listener."

"Spirits Of Fire" track listing:

01. Light Speed Marching
02. Temple Of The Soul
03. All Comes Together
04. Spirits Of Fire
05. It's Everywhere
06. A Game
07. Dispensable
08. Meet Your End
09. Never To Return
10. The Path
11. Alone In The Darkness

Caff is a good guitarist, but not a composer. his solo albums are not really outstanding, even if you disregard the grating voice. the other 3 have lent their name, talents and drum loops to so many projects that it's embarrassing :/ I have some hope bcs of the involvement of Roy Z, but not too high hopes. if there's a coupla good songs, I'll be happy. daft name, too, btw.

That song sounded better than most of the schlock that Ripper's been putting his name on lately but it didn't quite blow my mind. I still have no idea what to expect from this. The name is decent but I don't know if it suits their aesthetic.

Meh, not bad but nothing to write home about either.

Too much talent, too little passion or inspiration. Like aloof said, Caffery is a good guitarist but not a great composer. I trust Roy Z as a composer much more but I don't know how much he is involved in this.

As much as I like Tim's story and Jugulator, god I really wish he'd just go the fuck away at this point. None of the projects he's been involved with since that album have been worth half a fuck. This is no exception.

Man this was hard to get through. Sounds like a rejected track from Firepower. It's a shame when consummate professionals let themselves do shit like this.

Sounded alright to me. I don't see this as being shameful at all, it's a solid track and they are making music they love.

I'll say it again. Instead of spending whatever credibility he has on very unfortunate projects like the Dio hologram tour or doomed-to-fail stuff like the Three Tremors, he should just join Annihilator. Two birds with one stone as far as I'm concerned. A band that has been screaming for a permanent vocalist since Coburn Pharr and a singer that can do both the Rampage and Pharr stuff with ease. And there is always that fantastic Abigail cover featuring both of them and of course Alison Hell from the same gig...

So instead we get another Priest rip off from former Priest members who couldn't cut it with creative control in Charred Walls of the Damned.

At least Owens sounds like he's in his place with this track, but this is an easy pass for me.

Another "supergroup" that that manages to be so much less than the sum of its parts. Another forgettable entry into Ripper's frustratingly underwhelming resume. A script more predictable, lame and depressing than yet another Fast & Furious sequel.

Aren't people sick of this stuff yet? Or is there really enough of a market out there for labels to keep throwing cash at such manufactured lineups?

Just reading the press release was ample enough warning that this'd be a passionless and mediocre contrivance. "After an intense brainstorming session"? Naming the band from a (lame) song title (not vice versa)? Exclamation marks after almost every sentence? Don't even have to listen to it; press release unintentionally tells the truth.

I can’t help but laugh when I see another “band” featuring Ripper Owens... Is he the biggest “cash-in artist,” i.e. got to be in a legendary act and then milked those credits over and over again in one-off projects and “supergroups”?

Let’s face it, the only singers who qualify for “supergroup” labels in Priest or Maiden remain Halford and Bruce...

Exactly, i don't get the appeal. If there isn't a well hidden crew of fans that automatically buys lots of stuff i can't really understand how much longer this kind of business can last

Not to mention that it is implied that the brainstorming session was done by the label and not the band themselves! The result of the session was just who would be in the band and who would be producing it.

They're turning metal bands into puppets/boy bands.

I think they inadvertently hit the nail on the head on why these bands don't work. No real brain work taking place. One session ain't gonna cut it.

It doesn't help that these guys are the types that spend more time bitching about piracy than telling people why it's worth buying on its own merits.

I do have to give Ripper for one thing: At least that song has vocal lines that aren't variations of "WAAAAAHHHH" over and over.

You know how there are musicians like Steve Harris, who are kind of dicks but deliver the goods every time? Tim Owens is the total opposite: a super nice guy who has probably unleashed dozens of hours of terrible music on the world.

Someone please stop him from joining any more "supergroups". Thank you.

I never thought of Harris as kind of a dick. But I did think he fucked up when he chose Bayley to replace Dickinson, when he decided he did not need a stellar producer, when he chooses album covers or even mockups of album covers, when he writes forgettable songs with the most contrived use of oh oh oh's in the middle, when he writes forgettable songs (period) and when he formed British Lion, which is just too bad to be forgotten.

It's amazing how something so technically competent and solid can be so boring. Just goes to show you how much 'soul' and 'feeling' play into this stuff. This is like the Happy Meal of heavy metal. Utterly manufactured, processed stuff that could have been made by robots probably. No real distinct flavor or taste. No point of view.

Just when I thought that the stupid Three Tremors thing would be the worst thing to feature Tim Owens in the new year, this happens. The instrumental sounds like something that would've been written as background music in an early 90s arcade game. It's like a paint-by-numbers metal song, designed to hit all the familiar bullet points of what people think "real old school metal" is supposed to sound like in 2019, but just sounding really fucking lazy and boring the whole time. Same problem with that Metal Allegiance thing. At least Three Tremors is funny in how bad it is.

I love Tim Owens and his abilities as a singer, but he really needs to just go away at this point. Nothing he does or has his name attached to is any good anymore.

It's not a heavy metal thing. There are tons of new bands writing really good stuff and keeping the genre alive. It's these fucking music "geniuses" producing easy to sell garbage and all the morons who actually buy it. This bullshit predates pretty much all genres.

Ripper Owens says that he takes up all these projects because it's the only way he can make money these days and that they don't get proper developments because they don't sell. They don't sell because they just aren't that good most of the time. They just aren't that good most of the time because he only takes them up for the money.

It's the dad metal equivalent of the recent college graduate "can't get a job without experience and can't get experience without a job" conundrum.

They should record a cover of 'Delivering the Goods' where Ripper changes the words to "Payin' the Bills".

Out of work and down

Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
So I might as well begin
To put together another crappy band

This is where I respectfully disagree.

Great songs are usually crafted/rehearsed over years, tested in front of live audiences and/or your bandmates.

Not "lay down some tracks and 2 weeks later I'll email them all to you and you lay down some tracks". Then the visionless hodge-podge all comes together and the label says "what do you call this band?".

This is where modern metal goes way wrong.

It is rare for any great vocalist to save a mediocre song.

Oh I know. It’s just this bland shit bloating the genre making it unpalatable even when there is good shit being made, which isn’t fair to those bands honestly.

Jeff just moved to the UK for what that's worth, so he's probably content staying as the vocalist (and lyricist, ugh) for the time being.

If he were to ever bring in a vocalist again, I can't see it being anyone else but a talented unknown, mostly the same as he's been surrounding himself with for years. Yes, I agree it made all the sense in the world for Ripper to join at the time, but Waters isn't going to share the spotlight with anyone. Not much different than Mustaine in terms of both talent and ego, just way more subdued and passive-aggressive about it.

If Owens had stuck with building up some combination of his solo band/Beyond Fear/Charred Walls of the Damned for all this time, it might've turned out at least a little better than what he's been attached to instead.

Had this been a new band debuting, it would have been pedestrian but passable. Do you realize the musical abilities in this band? It's Mark Zonder! Steve DiGiorgio on bass! I would have done a better job at playing bass on this track, and I'm not even good at playing bass. This defines the meaning of underachieving.

It must really suck being Tim Owens. Dude has a fucking godly voice but has remained a monster energy drink whoring failure that's constantly fired his whole life. Super depressing shit.

First listen into the album proper and I'm honestly surprised by how decent this is. The production kinda bogs it down but the songwriting isn't the phoned in bullshit that I was expecting.
