Since their formation in 1990, WINTERS BANE has consistently created truly
memorable heavy metal songs. In their first incarnation with present ICED EARTH
vocalist Tim Ripper Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST), they released the classic Heart Of A Killer
album in1993. A concept piece based on the murderous exploits of one Judge Cohagen, Heart
Of A Killer is a power metal tour de force, combining the amazing vocals of Owens, with the fret
board kinetics of Lou St. Paul. On such instant favorites as The
Silhouette and Reflections Within,St. Paul showed that he is a talented songwriter,
playing great riffs over intelligent, well thought out lyrical essays. In 2000, Century Media
Records re-issued Heart Of A Killer as a 2-CD set, winning over many new fans who heard the
classic WINTERS BANE sound for the first time.
After the departure of singer Tim Owens, St. Paul took over the vocal duties, resulting in
WINTERS BANEs heaviest work to date, "GIRTH". "GIRTH" was an amalgamation of all the elements that make great
heavy metal music: killer riffs, scorching solos, memorable vocals, poignant lyrics, and a tight,
imaginative rhythm section. On such soon to be classics C-4, Kill Procedure, and
Alexandria,WINTERS BANE proved that they were still a band to be reckoned with.
After many years of searching for a singer with the vocal prowess to equal the talents of the
departed Owens, Alexander Koch (ex-SPIRAL TOWER, POWERGOD) was recruited as the
new voice of WINTERS BANE, far surpassing the bands expectations of what a vocalist could
accomplish. Now WINTERS BANE is ready to unleash their next release, Redivivus, a return to
the power metal style of Heart Of A Killer. With the addition of powerhouse drummer Mark
Cross (ex-METALIUM, HELLOWEEN), WINTERS BANEs most potent line-up is now in
place, and the band has delivered the best album they've ever written. On such standout songs as
The World, Spark To Flame, and Dead Faith, WINTERS BANE displays their
musicianship and song writing abilities. Just listen and you will discover one of heavy metal's best kept secrets.
