This week is our 8th installment of, “Degrees Of Separation…” where we discuss the more obscure side projects and solo releases from some not-so-obscure artists. This week we pay homage to the rock n' roll rags to riches story that is the metal god-like voice that is Tim “Ripper” Owens. He inspired a major motion picture, not to mention gave opportunities to countless other singers from tribute bands to perhaps be considered as the replacement for the real deals. This guy has some of the most sought-after pipes of the last 25 years. All hear our warning; never turn your back on The Ripper!New to InObscuria? It's all about excavating obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While we may be talking about bands that you know intimately in this episode, perhaps you are not aware of the depth of side projects they have had over their careers. Our hope is that we turn you on to something new!Songs this week include:Ripper - “Embattled” from Embattled - Single (2022)Winter's Bane - “Heart Of A Killer” from Heart Of A Killer (1993)Yngwie J. Malmsteen - “Damnation Game” from Perputual Flame (2008)Operation: Mindcrime - “Taking On The World (feat. Ripper Owens & Blaze Bayley)” from Resurrection (2016)Charred Walls Of The Damned - “Creating Our Machine” from Charred Walls Of The Damned (2010)Iced Earth - “Valley Forge” from The Glorious Burden (2004)KK's Priest - “Raise Your Fists” from Sermons Of The Sinner (2021)Metal Allegiance - “We Rock” from Metal Allegiance (2015)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

The man. The myth. The legend. The breakdancer. Richard Christy has made a name for himself in so many ways, calling him a renaissance man isn't enough. While he may be a "radio" personality, actor, filmmaker, he will forever be annointed: Richard Christy - Drum God. Or just Evil Ned. He's proven himself on many albums, and continues to pound out quality Metal with Charred Walls Of The Damned. RC called in to BNM live to talk about Charred Walls, Metal, prank phone calls, Electric Boogaloo, Wrathchild America, and christmas movies. And is Richard Christy ticklish? BNM gets that crucial bit of info that no one else would dare to.
