ARMAGEDDA was created in the mind of A in early 2000, but then went by the name VOLKERMORD. Their idea was to create some spiritual disease through music that would infect & destroy human minds. Soon (couple of months later) A spoke with Graav & Phycon about this idea & all were in agreement... A rehearsal tape was recorded, but remains unreleased at this time. The band entered the studio in mid-2000 for the recording of the VOLKERMORD demo which enjoyed a really grim & raw production, & released in October, limited to only 30 copies. This demo was to be released on MCD format, but postponed indefinitely. In the very beginning of the year 2001 they entered the studio once again for the recording of the full-length debut-album ''The Final War Approaching''. At this time the band changed their name to ARMAGEDDA (translates to ''jehova's Hell''), & soon recorded some rehearsal tracks which were ended up on a split-release with suicidal Swedish act SVARTHYMN called ''In Blackest Ruin'' & released through the Swedish Underground label, Deathcult Productions. ARMAGEDDA is now signed to American/German cult label Breath of Night Records for CD release in 2002, with a vinyl LP version licensed to Sombre Records Germany. A new member, Mord, joined the ARMAGEDDA horde during early Summer of 2001 to complete the Swedish line-up.
