Ex-JUDAS PRIEST Members K.K. DOWNING, TIM ‘RIPPER’ OWENS, LES BINKS: Teaser For DEVILSTAR’s Cover Of ‘Beyond The Realms Of Death'

The all-star hard rock and heavy metal group DEVILSTAR, which founding producer/guitarist Paul Crook (ANTHRAX, MEAT LOAF, SEBASTIAN BACH) and executive producer John Madera describe as the world’s first interactive band, has posted a teaser video of its debut single — a cover of the JUDAS PRIEST classic “Beyond The Realms Of Death”.

Due out digitally June 1 on all streaming/download platforms, “Beyond The Realms Of Death” was covered to commemorate the 40th anniversary of “Stained Class”, the legendary album on which the song originally appeared. In addition to Crook, DEVILSTAR’s rendition of the song features performances by three former members of JUDAS PRIEST — vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens, longtime guitarist K.K. Downing and drummer Les Binks, who co-wrote the track with Rob Halford — as well as bassist Joey Vera (ARMORED SAINT, FATES WARNING).

“Beyond The Realms Of Death” will be followed by subsequent DEVILSTAR single releases in the coming months, which will be a mix of covers and original material that feature other notable hard rock/metal names, with Crook handling production and mixing in addition to playing guitar. While several tracks have already been recorded for release, fans are invited to email devilstarmusic@gmail.com to propose potential “dream team” lineups and/or suggest cover songs to tackle in the future.
