Armageddon is a side project helmed by Swedish guitar player Christopher Amott in his unornamented time from Arch Enemy -- the band he runs with brother Michael (of Carcass fame). Like Arch Enemy, Armageddon performs speedy, thrash-based heavy metal, informed by new death and fateful alloy undercurrents. Their first album, 1997's Crossing the Rubicon, as well featured vocaliser Jonas Nyren, bassist Martin Bengtsson, and drummer Peter Wildoer. The lowest deuce were briefly tangled with Arch Enemy as well (playing on 1998's Stigmata), and it was no surprise when Amott borrowed AE's Daniel Erlandsson to drumfish on Armageddon's tardy sophomore exploit, Embrace the Mystery, in 2000. The album also featured Last Tribe members Rickard Bengtsson (vocals) and Dick Lowgren (basso), just both of them were kaput by the sentence of 2002's only named Three, which base Amott taking over Tobias Gustafsson (of Eucharist).
