Armagedom

Not to be confused with: - Armmagedon (Thrash Metal from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais) - Armaggedon (Death Metal from Arcoverde, Pernambuco) In the early '80s Armagedom was part of the growing punk movement taking place in the Brazilian city of São Paulo. In 1984 they recorded a 14-track demo tape (which was officially released in 2003 under the name "Princípio da Agonia 1984"). Their first appearance was in the 1985 punk compilation "Ataque Sonoro" which also featured crossover/thrash acts Lobotomia and Ratos de Porão . By the time Armagedom released their first full length ('86), the intensity in their music was such that it had little resemblance to punk. Today one could fit that album somewhere between death/thrash/hardcore. It's been also referred to as "deathcore". In 1993 the band split-up and regrouped in 1997 after fans from the Finnish act Força Macabra contacted them to make a project together.
