Tim Owens has completed laying down vocals for the debut from CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED, the new project led by acclaimed metal drummer Richard Christy. The recording sessions are taking place at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with producer Jason Suecof, who has previously worked with TRIVIUM, ALL THAT REMAINS, BURY YOUR DEAD, AUGUST BURNS RED, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DAATH, CHIMAIRA, DEVILDRIVER and GOD FORBID, among others.
Christy recently stated about CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED, “I must say that I’m totally blown away by how everything is sounding! Jason Suecof is playing guitar and producing and he did such an incredible job on the album. He’s not only an awesome guitar player but he’s an amazing producer, and I’m so psyched with how everything turned out. The drum sound that Jason and engineer Mark Lewis got for me is astounding! The bass god Steve DiGiorgio [SADUS, TESTAMENT, DEATH, SEBASTIAN BACH] also flew down to Florida to lay down some monster bass tracks that people will be blown away by when they hear!”
CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED’s debut CD is tentatively due in early November via Metal Blade Records.
In the spring of 2009, Christy, former drummer for DEATH and ICED EARTH, finished writing the music for a new project. The music for album began to take shape roughly two years ago, after several years of Richard being on a musical hiatus. And though Richard is mostly known for his drumming prowess, he has also actively played guitar since 1992.
CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED is:
Richard Christy – Drums
Jason Suecof – Guitar, Producer
Tim “Ripper” Owens – Vocals
Steve Digiorgio – Bass
