Band Interview: Armagelion

Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life are pleased to bring you an interview with hard rock/heavy metal artist, Armagelion.

1. How did you get started as an artist?

It began in Los Angeles, California two years ago, even though the idea of the character came up 10 years ago. I wanted to find the perfect combination between a larger than life character and pure hard rock with reminiscence about the 80s sound but with my own style.

Armagelion and his mythology come from the fascination for Sci fi, comic books and larger than life characters. Armagelion is the character I never saw, the entity I become when I’m on stage.

2. How would you describe your sound?

Hard rock/ heavy metal. High pitched vocals, catchy and dramatic melodies, shredder guitars and melodic synths.

Pure and powerful hard rock.

3. What bands/artists would you say have influenced your style of music?

My biggest influences are Bon Jovi, Kiss and Motley Crue. Their music got me into hard rock and heavy metal genre.

4. Has the rise of YouTube & music streaming helped or hindered you as a band?

I think that YouTube and other social networks can be a powerful double-edged sword. In my case, it has helped, because through YouTube I have been able to reach other countries and gain more exposure.

But unfortunately there are many very good artists who disappear in the midst of so much content that is uploaded daily. That is why a good strategy is important.

5. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not making music?

I always like to be creating. When I’m not making music I’m making sketches for future artwork or coming up with ideas for shows.

6. What are your future plans musically? Tours?

I have a new single to come, which is already done as the next preview to the upcoming album. The upcoming single is sensual and energetic. It’s called “Playing with Fire”. Also, I’m planning to hit the road this year.

Stay tuned.
