LISTENABLE Records have inked a deal with metal masters ARMAGEDDON as band leader Christopher confirms :
” ARMAGEDDON are happy to announce that we’ve signed a deal with Listenable Records. Our new album “Captivity & Devourment” is set for a worldwide release on January 26 2015. Me and head of label Laurent Merle go way back and I’m looking forward to working alongside him and his staff to make ARMAGEDDON the absolute best it can be. Thank you all ! See you on the road in 2015. ” – Christopher Amott
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 line-ups and different musical directions, Christopher Amott (ex ARCH ENEMY) being the sole original member.
ARMAGEDDON has now resurrected in its most powerful form. The band is based out of New York City, and has brought unto itself a crushing line-up of musicians. Together they have once again conjured up the force that is ARMAGEDDON.
The new album ‘Captivity and Devourment’ consists of 10 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.
