Guitarist Lou St. Paul of the long-running Ohio
metallers WINTERS BANE has released the following
statement:

"There have been rumors of Tim 'Ripper' Owens (BEYOND
FEAR, ICED EARTH, and ex-JUDAS PRIEST) singing on next
WINTERS BANE album. I wanted to let everyone know
exactly what's going on.

"Tim and I have been talking for some time, off and
on, about recording a sequel to 'Heart of a Killer',
our 1993 release. In the last month or so, Tim and I
both agreed that if the right conditions were met,
like the right label, contract, tour support and other
details, we would put forth our best effort, making,
of course, another 'Killer' album, and do a major
tour. At this point Wendy Dio (Niji Management) is
still accepting offers from labels and will continue
to do so until the beginning of next year.

"We've had some ideas for the making the follow-up for
some time. We have both been busy in other projects
and until recently have been fortunate enough cross
paths again. So keep your fingers crossed and you
might have another WINTERS BANE/Ripper album in 2008."
