Omen - Hell’s Gate (1985)

Omen is an American Heavy Metal band that was formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by guitarist Kenny Powell, as he left the band Savage Grace. The other three founding members were: lead singer J.D. Kimball, bassist Jody Henry and drummer Steve Wittig. They quickly signed a record deal with the uprising label “Metal Blade Records“ and released 4 albums and one E.P. before splitting up in 1989. Kenny Powell later on founded a new band called Stepchild and released an album with them. During this time he played with the idea to reform Omen which came into realization in 1997, at that time featuring Kenny’s son Greg on vocals before returning to his own project Stompin’ Ground. Omen are now back again with a new line-up and new material. Discography: 1. Battle Cry (1984) 2. Warning of Danger (1985) 3. The Curse (1986) 4. Nightmares (E.P. 1987) 5. Escape to nowhere (1988) 6.
