January 5, 2015, 9 years ago
Armageddon, led by former Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott, has revealed that Antony Hämäläinen will be joining the band as vocalist (replacing Matt Hallquist) on their No Dead Weight Tour across The US in February; Framework will open all shows. Confirmed dates are as follows:
Armageddon first came to life in Sweden in 1997 as a studio project, with cult album Crossing The Rubicon, a sci-fi themed concept album. Two more albums followed, Embrace The Mystery in 2000 and Three in 2003, both featuring different lineups and different musical directions, Christopher Amott being the sole original member.
Armageddon is now resurrected in its most powerful form. The band is based out of New York City, and has brought unto itself a crushing lineup of musicians. Together they have once again conjured up the force that is Armageddon.
The new album Captivity & Devourment, set to be released worldwide on January 26th via Listenable Records, consists of ten awe-inspiring and ingeniously crafted songs, full of 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 and one eye gazing towards the distant future. The artwork and tracklisting are as follows.
