if tim did do another winters bane album, he wouldnt have to do HOAK2, it could just be whatever the next winters bane album is, that might get more record company interest maybe?

any new news on this?? cause if record companies are wondering why they are loosing money this is why...by turning down what could be a kick ass album and releasing this pop bullshit that doesn't sell where as Metal maintains the highest sales of any genre of music, second is classic rock and 3rd is punk...why? dedication!

any news on this?

wikipedia is usually quite upto date...their page on their hasn't changed...last things says this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter%27s_Bane

As early as December 2007, it was rumored that due to Matt Barlow's reunion with Iced Earth (thus the booting of Tim Owens), Tim Owens would return to Winters Bane as its vocalist. These rumors were confirmed, as it was announced that talks of said reunion are under way. "If the right conditions are met," said guitarist Lou St. Paul, "we would put forth our best effort, making of course a 'killer' album, and do a major tour." The rumors also state this follow-up would be a direct sequel to Heart of a Killer.

probably unlikely today. even their myspace isn't upto date from what i saw.

There's no money in it sadly. As much as I'd love it, there's no marketability for it. Ripper is busy doing Hail and his solo stuff to keep the bills paid. The Charred Walls and Yngwie stuff is also good but is a hired gun kind of thing. I doubt he was able to fit this in or find the proper label support to get it made.

such a shame really. as They are a good band as well. Heart Of A Killer is excellent.

you never know if Tim decides not to do Yngie stuff anymore, might be space for something like this. Hail, while very cool, is a loads of fun, and i'd love them to do a cd of covers! Smile

I think big part of the excellence of Hail! is in live music...they are almost like a jam band and having a lot of fun...it might be hard to capture that vibe on cd....

As much as I would have liked to get another Winter's Bane album, I always kind of thought it would not happen...Tim doesn't really have a big enough fan base to carry the band....It would be a bit of a step back for Tim I think.
