Armagelion Introduce yourself, tell me what you do in your band, where you are based out of, and how long the band has been together. I am ARMAGELION from Los Angeles, California. Currently based out of Dallas, Texas. I’ve been around for two years. ARMAGELION was conceived as a project that mixed theatricality and hard rock. A larger than life character, a heavy metal hero. What is the name of your current or upcoming album or EP and what inspired the title? My upcoming EP is self titled ARMAGELION. I think it’s appropriate that the first EP is self-titled because it’s a first approach to what ARMAGELION is. If I named it any other way or as one of the singles then it wouldn’t be giving the message that I want, which is: this is ARMAGELION, welcome to my universe. What are you looking forward to the most about playing LA Burning Fest III? I’m very excited! It’s not only my debut show, but the 50
first time people will see what ARMAGELION is like live. Also, going back to the city where it all started is something very special. I think there could be no better scenario than this. The lineup is packed featuring sets by Riot V, Ross the Boss, and Tim “Ripper” Owens. How have these bands and artists influenced you and have you ever seen them live before? Of course they have been an inspiration and that makes sharing the stage with them even more special. I’ve never seen them live before, but I think there’s no better way to see them than being part of the same lineup. Select two songs you might be playing at LA Burning Fest III and what inspired the lyrics. I’m preparing some surprises, but I will definitely play Welcome to the Show and Lie to Me, two of my three singles released so far. When I wrote Welcome to the Show I wanted it to be a call, a statement, an invitation to the ritual of ARMAGELION. A hymn to all the children of metal. On the other hand, Lie to Me is a heartbreaking and powerful song. Pain, holding on to a love that no longer exists... It’s something we’ve all been through. September/October 2022
