"I can't thank everyone enough for the privilege to take the stage at Warriors of Metal Fest VII. We've heard so much about the camaraderie and energy of the WOM Fest family. Consider Automaton stoked to share our brand of high energy, folky, epic and downright foppish steampunk power metal with you. From the 80's. 1880's. We tip our hats to you, Warriors of Metal!"
