OMEN, CAGE, ASKA Confirmed For WARRIORS OF METAL FEST III - OPEN AIR

February 9, 2010

The Warriors of Metal Fest III - Open Air has announced the headliners for this summer's festival, to be held Friday, June 25 and Saturday, June 26, 2010 at Ross County Fairgrounds in Chillicothe, Ohio.

On Friday, OMEN, the legendary Dallas, Texas-based metal band formed in 1983 and largely credited as an originator of the power metal genre, will headline the first day of the Fest. George Call, OMEN's lead vocalist, commented that "it's been several years since we've played this far north and we are ready to make this Fest a unique experience for our fans by introducing them to a number of brand new songs from our upcoming album."

On Saturday CAGE and ASKA will co-headline the second day of the Fest. These two bands are in hot demand each year by European festivals and will now bring their brands of bone-crushing, head-banging, neck-snapping and face-melting metal to the hungry fans of the Ohio region.

In a February 3 interview with Metalhead Radio's DJ MetalGod, the powerful and talented CAGE vocalist, Sean Peck, announced that they "will be playing a number of never-before-heard new songs for our fans to make Warriors of Metal Fest III - Open Air a very special experience."

CAGE made a huge impression on the true metal fans of Atlanta in 2009 by raising the roof on the 10th anniversary ProgPower USA festival, one of the premier metal festivals in the the country.

ASKA was a headliner at Warriors of Metal Fest II – Open Air in 2009, and was a favorite to return this year. ASKA plays numerous European festivals each year, and has entertained American troops in more than 37 countries as a former Department of Defense band. George Call, the founder, vocalist and guitarist of ASKA, commented that, "we received such a warm welcome from the Fest promoters and enthusiastic support from the Ohio metal fans last year during Warriors of Metal Fest II that we decided back then to announce that we will be returning to Ohio this year for another cheer, and this time we are ready to unleash a number of brand new ASKA songs from our soon-to-be-released sixth album, right along with our usual crowd pleasing classics."

Although ASKA and OMEN share George Call on vocal duties and Danny White on the drums, the two bands rarely share Fest billings, so Warriors of Metal Fest III - Open Air claims a very rare and special billing. The only other opportunity for fans to catch these two bands together is at 2010's Headbangers Open Air in Germany. ASKA and CAGE will also share billing on the 2010 SwordBrothers Metal Fest IX in Germany.
