Armagelion
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.
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.
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.
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.
I’m very excited! It’s not only my debut show, but the
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.
Theatricality, a lot of energy and a lot of rock n roll. ARMAGELION will rock the house...
I was so excited to share the stage with Grim Reaper and the great Steve Grimmett in my debut show. His passing was sudden. I remember watching his videos as a kid and loving his sound. It was very sad news, but his legacy will live forever.
There are plans for future shows. After the first EP is released, a second EP will follow it; so that both EPs combined will form my debut album called “ARMAGELION” There is much more to come, stay tuned.
Niviane
them live before?
I have been lucky enough to have seen all 3 artists mentioned live previously and am a fan of each. Riot V & Ross The Boss are standards in my rotation and being a metal vocalist, I of course have followed Tim “Ripper” Owens career closely from his many various projects... Judas Priest, Beyond Fear, Iced Earth, Yngwie, etc. etc.

Niviane
My name is Norman Skinner and I am the vocalist for the US power metal band Niviane. We are based out of Sacramento, CA and were formed in 2015.
Our latest album released in 2020 is titled The Ruthless Divine. We are currently finishing tracking for our 3rd as yet untitled album to be released in 2023.
We are most excited to perform for all of our fans in and around the Southern California area, as well as sharing the stage with some metal legends.
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 Select two songs you might be playing at LA Burning Fest III and what inspired the lyrics.
I will most likely leave the set list up to the guitarists but would believe Psychomanteum & Fires In The Sky could potentially be performed as they are our last 2 singles & videos. I am a big fan of the paranormal and ghost hunting and learned about the term “Psychomanteum”. I decided to take the concept of it and create a paranormal love story. Fires in The Sky is a sci-fi themed song based loosely on Ancient Alien Theory and the asks the question why they no longer share knowledge with the human race anymore.
We are very high energy and all about a powerful performance. Dueling lead guitars with lots of harmonies and vocals that run the gambit from death growls to high falsetto screaming. We pride ourselves on being a fantastic live band.
I was lucky enough to see him live a few years ago. I
Looking forward to a good gathering of metal heads and a hell of a lot of metal. That is a cool venue and we are stoked Ken threw this together!
Sean Peck
had never met him personally but heard he was a really nice guy. His music will of course live on!
We recently signed with new management and plan to release our 3rd album next year followed by another big tour as well as some festival appearances.
Yes, I am in a band with Ross (Death Dealer), played with Riot before, and am in a band with Tim (The Three Tremors).
Bone Breaker because we like breaking bones and Heaven and Hell in honor of Ronnie James Dio.
Hellfire unleashed from the bowels of a demon. We will spew forth the afterbirth of a diseased virgin.

Sean Peck of The Three Tremors
I am Sean Peck from San Diego California. I currently sing in the bands Cage, Death Dealer, The Three Tremors, Warrior and sang for the inactive band Denner Shermann featuring the original Mercyful Fate guitar team of Michael Denner and Hank Shermann, as well as legendary drummer Snowy Shaw. Cage has been in operation since 1992.
I have a new 9th Cage album coming out and a new 4th Death Dealer album coming out as well. Both of which are unnamed. I just released the new and 1st Death Dealer EP Fuel Injected Suicide Machine” It is a beast.
Well, Steve Grimmett filled in for Harry “The Tyrant” Conklin (Jag Panzer) as a replacement 4th Tremor on a The Three Tremors European tour at the last minute and we got some serious quality time with him. We had a ton of laughs and we treasure that time we spent with him. He was a great dude and great singer. We presented him with a The Three Tremors vest of his own when we did another tour of England and it was a very special moment we will never forget.
Playing the Dragon Rojo Metal Fest in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico with Riot V, Tim “Ripper” Owens solo band. The Three Tremors and Cage on November 20, the weekend immediately after the LA Burning Fest III.
