Warriors of Metal, Inc. non-profit organization is very excited to to announce the addition of the very first middle eastern Power Metal band to our next year's lineup. Dragonrider from Amman, Jordan has been confirmed for Warriors of Metal Fest VI Open Air to take place on June 28 & 29, 2013 at the Frontier Ranch in Pataskala, Ohio.
The band's lead guitarist, Ra'ed "Mad Rad" Miqdadi stated: "We are very excited and honored to play at WOM Festival , since we have always been influnced by great US Power Metal bands many of whom have been featured at this festival in the past and of course, we are also fans of the European Power Metal scene which the festival seems to emphasize on its annual lineups. This is a big chance for the band to play a US Festival, to spread our music, and to perform a live show for the American Metalheads."
Dragonrider just concluded its collaboration with Benedictum's Veronica Freeman as one of two guest vocalists (the other being Carsten "Lizard" Schulz) who have contributed their talents to Dragonrider's debut album "Scepter of Domination" for bonus tracks on that release. World famous Metal album artist, Jean-Pascal Fournier (DragonForce, Avantasia, Edguy, Gaia Epicus, Unleash The Archers, Power Quest and many others) has done the artwork for the album to be released in early 2013.
The bands confirmed for Warriors of Metal Fest VI Open Air so far include: Flotsam and Jetsam (Arizona, USA), Attacker (New Jersey, USA), October 31 (Virginia, USA), Dawn of Valor (Minnesota, USA), Skull Hammer & Seax (Massachusetts, USA), Dantesco & Alas Negras (Puerto Rico), Axenstar (Sweden), Voltax (Mexico), and Dragonrider (Jordan)
More confirmations will be announced next week. Please keep up-to-date at the Fest's Facebook page.
A little more about the band:
Dragonrider started back in 2001 when Rad left his former band, Virgin Killer to create his own band and music.
Having trouble finding Musicians with the same taste in music he moved alone till he formed Valderia then he changed the name to Dragonrider. The band had many line-up changes until it finally settled down with the current members.
The band combines Speed, Melody and old school elements due to each member's influences, the lyrical theme fights depression it has also a rebellious theme.
Dragonrider kept moving until the 1st line up gathered and released their 1st Demo in 2007 (Musical Sword). The band has many unreleased Demos due to Financial issues.
Later in 2009 Rad got in touch with his old Friend Ala'a Hamdan who has done the Audio Engineering and Production of Moon Serenade E.P, since then Ala'a Hamdan has become the band's Audio engineer and Guest Keyboardist.
