Armageddon

Armageddon first came to life in Sweden in 1997 as a studio project, with the cult release Crossing the Rubicon. The sci-fi themed concept album was followed by Embrace the Mystery in 2000 and Three in 2003, which both featured different line-ups and musical directions, with Christopher Amott remaining as the sole original member.

Resurrected in its most powerful form with a crushing line-up of musicians, Armageddon is now based out of New York City. The new album CAPTIVITY & DEVOURMENT consists of ten ingeniously crafted songs filled with devastating riffs, soaring guitar leads, and fist-pumping choruses. Heavy, melodic, technical, and groovy: this is creative metal songwriting with one foot in deep in the classics, and one eye gazing towards the distant future. Prepare to be captivated by ARMAGEDDON in 2014.

Matt Hallquist – Lead Vocals
Christopher Amott – Guitars & Clean Vocals
Joey Concepcion – Guitars
Sara Claudius – Bass
Márton Veress – Drums
