Genre(s): Thrash / Death Metal / Crossover
Formed in São Paulo, São Paulo - 1982.
The band Armageddon began in 1982 with the name "Last Chance",
qunado Javier (vocals), Zero (bass), Barriga (guitar) and Richard (drums)
started rehearsing. Although the name was different, the main proposal of the
group was already set. A view of poverty, death, injustice, death and despair
were always the main theme in the letters. Like almost all hardcore punk bands
of the '80s, the members learned to play during rehearsals. In 1983, they
changed the name to Rad Left, but the group decided to change again after a
time for a new name, reflecting the purpose of the
band. This change happened when Zero (bass) left the group and a new
member joined the band - Eduardo - the new bassist. The new name was
Armageddon, a biblical word of the battle of the end times, something very
close to the feeling that the band has always tried to pass. With the new
formation Javier (vocals), Barriga (guitar), Eduardo (bass and Ricardo (drums),
we finally managed to buy the instruments and find a place to rehearse (Garage
Javier's house). Before this, constumavamos rehearse in the studio of Cholera
band. After finding a place to rehearse and compose new songs, Armageddon began
to evolve rapidly and in late 1984, we recorded a tape with 14 songs in the
studio Eldorado. Two songs on this recording were used in the compilation
Ataque Sonoro. The songs were Ravenous and Super Projects. After a few gigs,
Armageddon could finally record an album called Funeral Silence, recorded in
the studio in 1986 and vice versa, released by Rainbow Records. Shortly
thereafter, Javier began to play guitar, Barriga moved to bass and Edward
became the voice of the band. In 1987, the band stopped in late 1988 and
returned without the belly, now with Bob on bass. The band started rehearsing
again and in mid-1989, we recorded a demo tape with five new songs, which were
used in a split CD and LP with Força Macabra - Tomb vacancy to the next who
will die by default. During this period Armageddon played a few places in São
Paulo, and in 1992 recorded a video of a live gig at the Retro space with new
music. In 1993, Richard left the band after and try to found a new drummer, the
band stopped again in 1994. In 1998, Javier was contacted by Force Falcon, a
band from finland and initiated a project to release a split CD and LP and in
the middle of 1999 the band returned once more with the vocals Eduardo Javier
on guitar, Richard on drums and a new component, Claudinei on bass. Since then
we are playing in various places in Brazil and recorded a new CD - From Ashes
to Hell. In 2005 the Armageodm held its first tour in Europe through Germany,
Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Holland. In 2008 held its second European tour
including Finland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland and
Slovakia. Also in 2008 we launched the Hopeless album on CD and LP. In 2009
Edward decided to leave the band, the singer is now the Thrash. In 2010 the
band is preparing new songs already Thrash vocals, guitar Javier, Claudinei on
bass and Richard on drums.
