And He shall sing the song that will destroy the world!
The Divine Beast, ARMAGELION!
Here's the interview:
Hello Armagelion, it is a pleasure to be able to conduct this interview. How is everything?
- Doing great! Thank you for having me!
Well, a brief presentation and history of the band to introduce you to more RockVip audience.
- ARMAGELION comes from my fascination to Sci fi, horror and fantasy. I wanted to create the character I never saw before, so I came up with this larger than life entity and the whole concept for the band.
I wanted to combine fantasy and mystery with classic hard rock sound. Powerful guitars, catchy choruses and the message of being yourself.
ARMAGELION is the ultimate rock and roll hero and the representation of being true to yourself.
Both RockVip and our personal Facebook profile have always supported Armagelion since we discovered you and we liked it a lot. Who is the composer of the band's songs and lyrics?
- First of all, thank you for your support. It's very important and I wouldn't be here without you and the fans.
I'm the composer of every song so far. Many of the songs are based on my own experiences and situations that everyone can relate to.
How many songs are on the EP release and what date more or less exactly is it released?
- My debut EP has 5 songs. "Welcome to the Show", "Lie To Me", "Playing with Fire", "Sweet Pain", and the latest single: "Say You Love Me Again", which will be out on December 29th.
What is the musical influence of Armagelion?
- I have many influences! But without a doubt KISS, Journey and Bon Jovi have been the ones who have inspired me the most.
Who is the illustrative author of the EP cover?
- Different artists have contributed to the artwork for each single. Each song feels different and unique, but part of a whole. For the cover of the full EP I have prepared something very special, and it will be revealed soon.
The four singles released have a similarity to each other, they bear the hallmark of Armagelion, Welcome To The Show is the one we like the most, will there be an official video for this song or another?
- Absolutely! "Welcome to the Show" is a very special song. It's not only my debut song and arguably my most popular song so far, but I wrote it as a statement of what ARMAGELION is and as an introduction to the ARMAGELION World.
Now briefly explain the songs Welcome to The show, Sweet Pain, Lie To Me and Playing With Fire, what meaning does each one have for you?
- Each one of those songs is very special to me. They're my debut EP! None of them were chosen at random.
I wanted each song to stand on its own, but at the same time be part of something bigger.
I want this EP to be an experience from start to finish, taking the audience on a journey and making them want more.
Will there be a live presentation of the EP?
- Yes! I'm hitting the road in 2024. Stay tuned for dates!
Say You Love Me Again, the latest single comes out on December 29, what can you tell us about this ballad song?
- It's the only ballad on the EP, and that makes it very special. It's a song about very intense emotions that we all have been through.
I think the fans are really going to like it, and when we play it live it will be a very intimate and intense moment.
- Tough question! There are so many legends that it would be unfair to make just one band. But if I had to choose I would say:
Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar and lead vocals)
George Lynch (lead guitar)
Ross Valory (bass)
David Bryan (keyboards)
Deen Castronovo (drums)
We leave the musical theme aside a bit and we would like to know why it goes with the Armagelion mask?
- I created ARMAGELION from my fascination to fantasy, horror and sci fi. I wanted to create the character I never saw before, an all-mighty entity on stage.
ARMAGELION is a larger than life rock and roll hero. I wanted to create a symbol.
Will one day reveal who is behind that original mask?
- I never say no because sometimes time changes things. But at least now I don't see that day coming.
People love the mysticism and mystery around ARMAGELION. I don't think they want to reveal that mystery and make the magic disappear.
ARMAGELION goes far beyond an individual, and I think that taking off the mask would link the character to only one person. If I remain masked, then anyone can be ARMAGELION and the symbol and mysticism remain intact.
Is there any major record label interested in Armagelion?
- There have been some, but now it's not the right time to work with them.
When the time is right we will talk and we can make decisions.
How does 2024 look for the band, any major festivals included or not?
- 2024 looks amazing! There are many surprises that fans are going to love. Tour, full album and all the merch you've been asking for.
The "ARMAGELION Legion" grows bigger every day and you don't want to get on the train late. So stay tuned, there is much to come.
Where can you get the EP once it is released?
- The EP will be available on all platforms, and when the full album is released, it also will be available on physical format.
By 2024, apart from presenting the new EP, will the band continue working on more songs?
- Absolutely! The full album is in the works and will be released in 2024! Stay tuned!
Finally, anything to add for fans and people who don't know Armagelion yet?
- Like I said before, The "ARMAGELION Legion" grows bigger every day and you don't want to get on the train late. Check out the music, ARMAGELION is on every social media site, so there's a lot of content you'll love. The moment to enter to the ARMAGELION World is NOW! There's much more to come and you won't wanna miss it!
Just this time there will be another opportunity to interview the band again, congratulations on that good EP and continue achieving success.
- Thank you, Javier and RockVip for your support. You are amazing.
See you next time, and there will be a next time!
