Armagelion Interview for The Metal Gods Meltdown 13/05/21
MM: Can you tell us about your Band and whos your biggest influences
ARMAGELION is the combination between hard rock and the ultimate larger-than-life character. I wanted to create the alter ego that I always dreamed of, but had never seen before. His voice would be pure hard rock with melodic synths and shredder guitars. Thus ARMAGELION was born.
My biggest influences are Kiss, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi and Europe.
MM: Where do you draw your inspirations and ideas from?
I have always been a huge fan of fantasy and scifi. I wanted to create a character taking inspiration from characters that I liked, but at the same time be unique.
My sound is inspired by the great hard rock and heavy metal bands of the 70s and 80s.
MM: What would you say is your favourite song? (From your catalogue)
So far, my latest single, "Lie to Me".
It's a very special song cause it pushed my voice to another level and I really enjoy singing it. Plus, I really like its melody and lyrics.
But I think the best is yet to come.
MM: Plans tour and festival wise for 2022
Yes! I'm planning to hit the road this year and play some festivals, but first I'm releasing a new single. Stay tuned.
MM: What can we expect from ARMAGELION live?
Seeing ARMAGELION live is an experience. It is not enough to listen to the music, you must be in a ritual to live the full experience.
MM: What do you like best and worst about touring?
I love being able to have a direct connection with fans from different cities, as each place has its own essence. I love the roar of the crowd in every city. However, not having time to get to know the cities and spending so much time on planes or tour buses is something I don't like.
MM: Which three Bands would be your ultimate touring buddies?
Wow, tough question. But I'd say Kiss, Motley Crue and Alice Cooper. They're legends and icons.
MM: What's the most memorable concert you've been to (other than your own) and why?
Kiss/Motley Crue "the tour" 2010. Seeing my two all time favorite bands performing the same night was awesome!
MM: What do you feel has been your biggest accomplishment so far?
Besides having released my first two singles, I think starting to build a fanbase is my greatest achievement. Creating something and people liking it and following you is something unique.
MM: Which are your Two favourite Albums of all time?
Another tough question... Bon Jovi - New Jersey and Kiss - Creatures of the Night.
Bonus: Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil.
MM: Can you remember the first time you ever played live and how it felt to have people watching you?
Of course! I was very nervous and excited. I was afraid of making mistakes but then I learned that the most important thing about performing live is to connect with your audience and create magic with them.
MM: Growing up which Bands posters did you have on your bedroom wall.
Kiss and Motley Crue. Motley Crue poster was Shout at the Devil cover and Kiss poster was their photo shoot for Playboy. (Laughs)
MM - Who do you think influenced the world of Metal / Rock more than any other person
Wow, interesting question. Cause rock and metal have deep roots and many branches. But I would say Chuck Berry, the Beatles, Ozzy Osborne and Kiss.
Different times, very important contributions.
MM - What's the most important thing to you right now?
Keep making music, connect with my people and that the community of the children of ARMAGELION grow more and more.
MM:If you could do a cover of any song which one would it be and why?
Magic Touch - Kiss. I've loved that song since I was a kid. It's so good and yet so underrated.
MM: Tell us why we should buy and listen to you
If you like hard rock with reminiscence about the 80s sound, you're gonna love ARMAGELION.
If you like scifi, fantasy and rock music, you're gonna love ARMAGELION.
You won't be disappointed.
MM: Four words to describe ARMAGELION:
Melodic, loud, mysterious, powerful
