YNGWIE MALMSTEEN – Spellbound 2012

 

Acclaimed heavy metal singer Tim “Ripper” Owens (BEYOND FEAR, ex-JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH), who has been fronting Yngwie Malmsteen‘s band both live and in the studio since February 2008, does not appear on “Spellbound”.

Owens was unable to join Malmsteen at the Getaway Rock in July due to scheduling conflicts with Tim‘s official Ronnie James Dio tribute bandDIO DISCIPLES. Handling most of the lead vocals during Yngwie‘s set at the Getaway Rock Festival was bassist Ralph Ciavolino.

Shadow Circus – On a Dark and Stormy Night (2012)

They didn’t really appeal to me, but after these tracks Evil Wings reveal their true progressive rock face. The next songs prove that Franco Giaffreda(vocals, guitars), Walter Rivolta (drums), Ricky Zanardo (bass) and Joseph Ierace
