Armageddon

About

Although the three piece metal band Armageddon are all originally from Sweden, their first two albums were exclusively released in Japan in 2000 and 2002. The band was formed in 1997 while front man Chris Ammot was touring in Japan with his group Arch Enemy. The young guitar virtuoso secured a solo deal under the Japanese label Toy Factory. Upon returning to his homeland of Sweden Ammot recruited drummer Peter Wildoer and bassist Martin Bengsston. All three members overlapped into each other's other musical projects while simultaneously creating melodic death metal music under the name of Armageddon. After a five year plus hiatus the band put out its fourth album titled Embrace the Mystery and Three.
