1. A hard… Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists/bands by the name of Armageddon.
1. A hard rock band formed in 1975, comprising drummer Bobby Caldwell, previously a member of Captain Beyond, singer Keith Relf, who had fronted The Yardbirds as well as having been a co-founder of Renaissance, guitarist Martin Pugh, of Steamhammer fame, and bassist Louis Cennamo, also formerly of Renaissance and Steamhammer. They only released one album, the self titled Armageddon. The band only played a few gigs to promote the album which suffered the fate of being largely ignored as a result, only recently gaining something of a reputation amongst fans of hard rock. Soon after this Relf died in an accident, electrocuting himself while playing his electric guitar. (The tale that he died while playing said instrument in the bathtub is an urban legend.)
2. A metal band led by Christopher Amott, formerly of Arch Enemy and brother of guitarist Michael Amott. At the time of Armageddon's debut album (Crossing The Rubicon) in 1997, Amott was playing in both bands concurrently, and soon after its release he announced that he couldn't devote time to both groups, deciding to focus on Arch Enemy and put this band to bed. But three years later, and two years after that, new albums appeared, curiously released in Japan only, with varying lineups surrounding Amott.
The band regained activity shortly after Christopher's departure from Arch Enemy in 2012 with a new lineup consisting of Sara Claudius (bass), Márton Veress (drums), Joey Concepcion (guitars), and Matt Hallquist (vocals).
3. A Psychedelic Rock band, with a self-titled album in 1970.
4. A Dutch hardcore producer from the 90's : Maurice Steenbergen .
5. Drum and Bass DJ/artist/producer Ray Keith also recorded under this name in the early 90s.
6. A Crust/Thrash/Hardcore band from Brasil.
7. Heavy/Power Metal band from Pécs, Hungary. They released only one album with the title "Válaszra várva" in 2003. After that, they disbanded.
8. A Christian glam metal band. Their bio from their MySpace page.
Armageddon began as a two man project with Robby Lee and Michael Vance in the early 1980's. Vance and Lee found each other through a newspaper ad and met for the first time 11/13/85 at a Stryper concert in Washington, D.C. The two first co-wrote a song called "The money Mask" and every song thereafter on what became known as the Second Chance demos. All of those songs were recorded on a Teac 4-track reel-to-reel in a bathroom in Falls Church, VA. The original recordings are included on the new 2007 limited edition The Money Mask CD set.
Robby Lee, who's natural instrument is the drums, played all of the guitar parts on the demos and Mark Miley (who engineered the project) played drums and bass. Vance added the vocals last.
After marketing the demos themselves, Vance and Lee were contacted by R.E.X. records, and were signed on to release "The Blazing Wasteland" on a compilation album called East Coast Metal. Shortly thereafter, Second Chance were signed by Talkingtown Records, who changed the band's name to Armageddon in 1988 prior to the release of The Money Mask. The musicians who contributed in the studio, aside from Vance, Lee and Miley, were Joe Hasslevander (drums), Danny Wilkinson (bass) and Charlie Phillips (additional guitars).
Armageddon performed many live shows on the East coast and in the mid-west. Robert Bussey joined Lee on guitar and Scott St. James handled drums with Danny Wilkinson throwing down on the bass. The band had a very animated presence on stage and packed a powerful message with a very heavy metal attacking sound.
Armageddon last performed in 2005 and is currently in the planning stages of recording some new material.
9. Armageddon is a progressive / symphonic metal band from the town of Novi Sad, Serbia. The band is led by its founder Djordje Letic, who plays guitars and keyboards. Armageddon has released the following albums so far: Eternal Mystery (1993), United Forces (1995), Savage Demons (1996), Under Symphonic Spells (1997), Heavy Metal Saga - a best of collection (2002) and Egyptian Suite (2009).
10. Heavy metal band from Busan, South Korea, formed in 1989. In June 1990, they released their first, and only, studio album, ‘The Tears of a King Bird’, on Seo Ra Bul Records. It’s unknown when they exactly split up. Please change your tags to 아마게돈.
11. A rapper/producer from Bronx, NY, formerly a member of the group Terror Squad

(Big L)
I should have been out,
I'm deadly when I pull the pen out
It's over now nigga leave the game
Don't be be mad cause your career is in the 9th inning
(Sample)
One of these days and it wont be long
(Armageddon)
Bori Puro what up
Mafia Negra
Mike Mic
-Verse 1-
Yo, yo
I kick that new world order, guerilla machine gun shit
The black Spartan fighting with gods like 300
Make a rapper scream in my dungeon
Call me the rap jack ripper, haunting the Bronx like streets in London
Hit you ghost writer with 20 bar conundrums
I'm super nice, you stupid wack and he's a dumb dumb
You already know that the Bronx is where I come from
This is that Geddy flow, that crystal meth for your eardrum
O.D. with me, got some O.G.'s with me
New York is red hot and I'm glowing with heat baby
I'm the monster in your dreams, it's hard to sleep lately
I'm punishing emcees with torturous street Malay
Damn I should have been out, my bars'll make you spin out
No d'doubt, Imma leave a scar before I peel out
And do it sober, word to God's son and Hova
Look at your weak career son, it's Over!
-Hook-
One of these days and it wont be long
You gon fuck around and get your shit rocked
One of these days and it wont be long
Better be easy or I'm coming see you
One of these days and it wont be long
Homie you destined to witness you whole world stop
One of these days and it wont be long
It's all gon be over!
(Armageddon)
-Verse 2-
Now, every Geddy verse be better than the last
I'll shred a nigga fast
I'm like B.A. Baracus poppin barretta's out the stash
Or barak Obahma polying lobbying for cash
The rap Bin Laden toppling buildings when I blast
Hit you in a flash, stick you in the grass
This is rap economics your markets about to crash
Cats respect violence, so talking shit out your ass
Will get you back slapped and hollered at, you don't want me to spaz
I'm pure horror, in the dark with a mask
At the back of your mans vocal booth staring out the glass
Hatchet in hand, hoping you gon try to make dash
I'm like Jason walking, I bet you thought you were fast
Imma torture you past points that nobody has
I'm like global warming, producing poisonous gas
This is a global warning, I'm God back from the past
But colder, and here to let you know that It's over
-Hook-
One of these days and it wont be long
You gon fuck around and get your shit rocked
One of these days and it wont be long
Better be easy or I'm coming see you

Homie you destined to witness you whole world stop
One of these days and it wont be long
It's all gon be over!

-Verse 3-
One of these days your gonna learn I breathe flames and spit lugi's of magma
The back draft is sick, move back if you got asthma
Cats pop shit till I whip that ass like master,
And have to put my hands on niggas like I'm a pastor
Wash a nigga up, straight baptize the bastard
Cleanse him of his sins then capsize his casket
I don't give a fuck, I'm drastic
Homie you full of shit, you's a bitch, you can suck on a fat
I made a hundred thousand pumping my album
You still broke and better off working for housing
That's no joke, niggas know you don't have the talent
Still kicking them old flows and can't sell an album
Here's something you don't know, Geddy's a prophet
I saw it in your promo, I'm the next hot shit
Your living life slow while the future speeds closer
Uh uh your time is up, Nigga It's Over!

You're still struggling financially and would be better off working a regular job for housing
That's no joke, niggas know you don't have the talent
