June 6, 2014 Cincinnati, Ohio — The Warriors of Metal, Inc. non-profit organization is excited to announce the confirmation of the last two bands to have been added to the incredible lineup of the Friday, June 27 lineup of Warriors Of Metal Fest VII.
Hailing from Boston, Mass., Power Metal band BAD KARMA was a recommendation of Meliah Rage guitarist Anthony Nichols and it is the side project of Meliah Rage drummer Stuart Dowie along with his brother Alec Dowie on vocals and guitars and Dana Guiod on bass. In 1985 a serious motorcycle accident left Alec with a lifelong paralyzed right arm but he has met this challenge head on and conquered it. Audiences will literally have to see it to believe this multi-talented artist in action who is also responsible for the cover art of the new MELIAH RAGE album, “Warrior” released through Italy’s Metal On Metal Records and will be available for the fans to purchase at WOM Fest VII this summer.
Alec states: “People won’t want to miss this show….you have to see it to believe it! We’ll have nine master cuts on a new full length album released through Shadow Kingdom Records this summer with plenty of guest musicians that you’ll want to pick up and on the Live performance front, we just recently got our old guitarist Frank Murphy back and he’s shredding better than ever. We are glad to be playing at Warriors Of Metal Fest VII so don’t miss us putting on a very memorable show for you all in Ohio. Come early, support all the bands and don’t miss BAD KARMA!”
Additionally, recommended by the festival’s multi-year sponsor and retired Air Force officer Lance Souther, Dayton, Ohio’s ENGINE OF CHAOS, formed in 2011 and diligently developing their hard hitting and versatile Heavy Metal style “delivered with a southern kick in the ass” will open the show on Friday, June 27. Check out “Uncover the Bones” by ENGINES OF CREATION at this location.
The 7th annual Warriors of Metal Fest will take place June 27 – 28 at O’Shecky’s LIVE Bar & Grill in Columbus, Ohio. Tickets are on sale & various levels of sponsorship opportunities are now available at the Fest’s website at www.warriorsofmetal.org.
