The Warriors Of Metal have announce that the Nashville, Tennessee progressive power metal band OBLIVION MYTH will return to Ohio after three years to replace Philadelphia female fronted metal band MISTRESS who had to cancel its participation due to the departure of their vocalist.

Oblivion Myth guitarist and founder, Keith Smith states: “Oblivion Myth is excited to return to WOM Fest Open Air as a part of the Pre-Fest Showcase this year. We played WOM Fest III Open Air back in 2010 and had a blast rocking out with so many great bands and fans in Ohio. It’s an honor to be asked to come back in a different capacity.”

Band vocalist Ray LeGrand observes: "The band has been through a series of personnel changes since appearing at WOM Fest 3 years ago. As far as the vocal duties were concerned, with the departure of Sterling Sammy Whitmill, my getting up to speed with the materials and being an all or nothing kind of guy, I did not feel I really owned the material at the time, having had only a few weeks in the band, so I opted for the ‘nothing’ angle and the temporary frontman Raz Wickham went to perform in Ohio in my stead," muses LeGrand. “I was genuinely bummed that I missed out on the opportunity to perform at WOM Fest Open Air. But I suppose good things do come to those who wait because the exciting part of what we have going is that our current lineup is firing on all cylinders with fans responding positively at every show. So we can’t wait to invade the Warriors Of Metal Pre-Fest Showcase and unleash our fury on the northern metal kingdom!”
