THERE ARE NO STAGES THAT RUN SIMULTANEOUSLY
Finally we have a true heavy metal festival on the West Coast! On 10/17/15, classic heavy metal descends on Southern California! This is a single-day fest featuring some classic bands from the genre, as well as some current heavyweights carrying the torch in the modern era. We have decided to throw this thing in a small venue, using two stages and also making it the most affordable festival of its kind, by far! Our goal is to accommodate the fans from around the globe and make it as easy as possible on their wallets. We know the fans deserve this, as we are lifelong fans, ourselves. For all of you who have ever been looking for an excuse to come to sunny Southern California, this is your opportunity! The venue (Bombay) is within walking distance of hotels, restaurants, and bars, and is only two blocks from the beautiful Pacific Ocean! Grab these tickets while you can and join us in this celebration of Frost and Fire!
For out of town guests, we have secured a discount rate at the Clocktower Inn (three blocks from the venue). Just mention the name “Frost and Fire” upon booking to receive a reduced rate for your hotel stay the weekend of the festival.

Probably ten years before we got back together, I started getting emails from Oliver from Keep it True asking us to get back together and I kept saying no. People kept asking Tim to do something without the rest of us, there were all sorts of rumors about us getting back together. –Rob, Dec 2022

A friend at work said you should talk to Jarvis, he said we should get the band back together. I said no way, he said there’s a bunch of people who still listen to you guys in Europe. And he put on a festival with bands from all over and invited us to do a signing session, and it went really well. -Rob

We signed albums and CDs for an hour and a half. People came from all over the world. -Greg

Jarvis and Oliver wanted us to go across the street to a restaurant, and Oliver said if you guys want to get back together you can headline Keep it True the year after next. And Jarvis said we could headline Frost and Fire the next year. -Rob

It wasn’t an immediate yes, there was a lot more coaxing. Night Demon had a rehearsal space, and it started slowly with Rob starting to play drums again with our gear. And we started inviting ex-members of the band to show up and jam a song or two, and that went on for months with members of Night Demon filling in for members who weren’t there. And that went on for months, Tim would refuse to sing but he’d show up every time. And eventually one day Tim started singing “Frost and Fire” into the mic, and it took off from there. -Jarvis

“Fan pics from Frost and Fire 2015 (reunion signing session)” is included as bonus content in Official Night Demon Episode #26 – The Story of Cirith Ungol – Part 2. Some of the members also included Frost and Fire Fest 2015 on their podcast.

24 Oct 2015: Another meeting of the minds at Casa De Soria between Night Demon & Cirith Ungol. Love being a fly on the wall during ’em. (Matt)

On 10th Oct 2010 – five year before they reformed for the Meet and Greet and signing session on the first Frost and Fire Festival – Sat 17 Oct 2015 – fan Callae Goltz met three of the original band members outside a house in Ventura. They spent some time hanging out, chatting, and signing autographs. Callae recalled: “I guess the three of them hadn’t hung out together in 19 years!”. The small gathering included Tim Baker (vocals), Robert Garven (drums), Jimmy Barraza (guitar), Callae Goltz (fan) and Matt Baker (Tim’s son and bass guitar). It was a casual, heartfelt moment—long before the idea of a full comeback had taken form.
