- New studio album from: Tim „Ripper“ Owens (Judas Priest, Iced Earth) + Drummer Christy (Iced Earth, Death) + Legendary bassist Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Testament). Heavy Metal at its purest [!]


Charred Walls Of The Damned - the brainchild of former Death/Iced Earth drummer Richard Christy - will release their third fulllength, Creatures Watching Over The Dead, on September 23rd via Metal Blade Records.

With five years having elapsed since the quartet dropped Cold Winds On Timeless Days, it's understandable that fans have been yearning for more, but Charred Walls Of The Damned has not exactly been sitting around, kicking their heels. Christy - who has previously played with Iced Earth, Death, Control Denied, Burning Inside and Leash Law - played drums on Monte Pittman's Inverted Grasp Of Balance. Legendary bassist Steve DiGiorgio, who made a name for himself in the ranks of Death, Testament, Vintersorg, Dragonlord and a myriad of other great metal bands.

Which just leaves vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens, who for a time fronted Judas Priest, before lending his formidable pipes to Iced Earth and Yngwie Malmsteen's mighty compositions, touring relentlessly under his own name, and starting a new band (Project Rock).

When it was time to lay the songs down, Charred Walls Of The Damned convened at Suecof's Audiohammer Studio, outside Orlando, FL. The nine resulting tracks are heavy, catchy, anthemic and downright killer music to wreck your neck to.
