Tim „RIPPER“ Owens (ex-Judas Priest, KK´s Priest) hat ein Video zu seiner Soloarbeit `Embattled´ veröffentlicht. Eine von  Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) und Nick Bellmore (Jasta, Dee Snider) produzierte RIPPER-EP soll im Laufe des Jahres folgen.

Der „Ripper“ verrät über Song und Video:

„It was a blast making this video while on a solo tour in South America! It’s such a great song that hits you right in the mouth! Sit back and enjoy the ride because it’s just starting.“

Und J. Jasta bemerkt:

„Ripper has been one of my favorite voices in metal since Jugulator arrived 25 years ago. His power, range, and work ethic inspire me daily and I cannot wait for the world to hear the crushing new metal tracks we are creating!“

Lyrics:

They’ve dragged you in

Taunted, haunted, demonized

You can’t submit

When the blame is intertwined

And now your torn

Spirit worn & shattered

You feel the scorn

Of days spent embattled

We stand as proof

Bound together, bound together

We stand as proof

Proof of all those embattled

………Embattled

We stand as proof

Bound together, Risen in truth

Fearless under pressure

Honor the call

The call for desperate measure

Defend the soul

The soul from the possessor

Embattled, embattled

What you don’t defend

Will be taken away

Without conscience, without remorse

To be risen in truth, to stand as proof

There’s no other, there’s no other way

What you don’t defend

Will be taken away

Without conscience, without remorse

Yeaaahhhhhhh

We stand as, we stand as proof

We stand as proof

Embattled…we stand as proof

Embattled…we stand as proof

Embattled…we stand as proof

Embattled………Embattled
