Armageddon are one of the quintessential proto metal bands of the 70's. Not quite as heavy as Sabbath, but more noodley than Led Zeppelin, Armageddon inhabit their own obscure little place in the 70's metal pantheon with their Uriah Heep like intensity and hippy jams. Expect many long prog-like songs, acoustic interludes, and hippy jamming. Not exactly a screaming ironfest, it's a good album to mellow out to after your all day Portal marathons.

yes a cult classic amg review: "Armageddon was an intended 1970s supergroup made up of singer Keith Relf, formerly of the Yardbirds, guitarist Martin Pugh from Steamhammer, bassist Louis Cennamo, and drummer Bobby Caldwell, who had worked with Johnny Winter. Their debut album charted at number 151, but they were effectively scuttled when Relf died of accidental electrocution on May 14, 1976."
ReplyDeleteI love prog metal blues stuff a lot personally like this.
