Light of Doom is a great, young rock band from Escondido, CA that made the Top 10 in The Next Great American Band – Watch this video clip because they can really rock!
With five members aged 12 to 14, Light of Doom blows away the audience with hot metal riffs, enthusiastic drumming, and great vocals. And it doesn’t hurt that the biggest segment of the record buying public – young teenage girls – can’t get enough of these talented musicians.
Light of Doom Performing
Mitchell -aka “Mitch Mitchell” – age 12, on drums:
Prediction: Even if Light of Doom doesn’t win on The Next Great American Band, these guys will make it big in the music business. They’re like Metallica used to be, raw energy that lights up the audience with music that sears your soul…
Check em out on MySpace Music. You gotta love their sense of humor because they list their “influences” as reading, going for romantic walks on the beach, and gardening. Of course, in press interviews they’ve also claimed as influences Iron Maiden, ninjas, boobs, and explosions…LOL!
They’re already attracting attention from some older girls as well:
Light of Doom Band Members:
- Erik (14): Vocals
- Dillon (13): Lead Guitar/Sexy
- Mitchell aka “Mitch Mitchell”(12): Drums
- Lucas(13): Bass/Style
- Daniel aka “Bonaduce”(13): Lead Guitar
And that’s the latest news on Light of Doom.

Dudes you guys fucking rock! I am a big fan of Iron Maiden with Phantom of the Opera, Flight of Icuras, and Number of the Beast. I think it’s funny how me and Dillon have the same last name. My dad said he thinks Dillon is one of my cousins but he’s not sure. I wish I was old enough to go where I want, because I would come out to Experience Studios and jam with you guys since I can play guitar, but not as well as Dillon & Dan.Well I hope you guys make it through the show. I live in Maryland so the show is tonight in about 17 minutes. I wish I could meet you guys, and I hope you come out with an album if you win. Also if you do win and you have a concert try to come to Baltimore, Maryland. Rams Head Live is the best stage to go its big, or you can come to the Recher Theater in Towson. See you guys on TNGAB.

Hey guys. Great job on the show. Made a few mistakes but you’ll get there. Keep up the AWSOME work!
Oh and don’t let the adults push you aaround. Metal has always been long hair and shirtless dudes. Has nothing to do with Sex like they said on the show. It’s about the music and the love for it and freedom to express it.
Stay bare and Free. And Best of Luck With the Compitetion! We here in NC are all puling for ya!
October 27th, 2007 at 5:27 am

Hi guys ! I’m from Canada . I’ve started to play guitar at the age of 12 Ledzep to Iron maidon , Judast priest, and Metalica just like you . I’m 43 now , I think you will realise my dream. Keep the smile and rock them to the bone.
Yeahhh…. you’ve already won .
November 10th, 2007 at 12:00 am
you guys gotta put out an album no matter what!!!
maiden rocks!
November 10th, 2007 at 12:50 am
If there is to be a new generation that brings back true metal, these lads could well be the vanguard. They sound like rock stars. They look like rock stars. Their stage presence is unbelievable. I was immediately impressed by their rendition of “Flight of Icarus.” As an Escondido resident, I’m proud to say that they’re from my town and I eagerly anticipate an album. Go get ‘em!
November 10th, 2007 at 11:46 am
You guys are one of the most incredible young bands I’ve ever seen! I played in a rock band when I was 16, but I never achieved the level of talent that you guys have. I have no doubt that the record companies are eagerly waiting to sign you up. I wish you the best of luck in the future. Rock on, man!
