Armageddon (Rev 16:16) it is the longest living Cypriot group and they are characterized by continuous live presence from 1985 with the name Heavy Duty, in the beginning with covers and then with their own compositions that gained the love of world and that even today they ask in their appearances their old songs. Finally 1985 they change the name to Armageddon and open the concert of Spitfire of legendary Greek group in Nicosia. After a lot of rehearsals material was gathered and they recorded their first demo (1987) with the songs: Raiders of steel, return of the king, Armageddon (instrumental) and striking back, and in less than one year afterwards, their second with eight songs, four older songs, that after played live they were orchestrated differently and more maturely henceforth recorded again: Raiders of steel, return of the king, rocking the universe, judgments day, to the unknown (speed version), E.K. Seventeen, striking back, Armageddon (instrumental) . Their first attempt in discography was an EP in vinyl in 1991 with the company All Records. The disk was loved by the rock and metal music enthusiasts and it established Armageddon as one of the best groups of this type in Cyprus and not only. After a simple search with the keywords Armageddon Rev in www.google.com you get a lot of pages that you can find the first EP in cd (reissued in CD in 2003 by the magazine True metal) for purchase, actually only from companies of abroad since in Greece was given free of charge with the magazine The vinyl is considered infrequent and a collectors item according to www.metal-treasures.at In 1997 the band records a new song "Times of frustration" for the collection "Blood brothers, A compilation of recordings by rock bands in Cyprus" by Laughing stock disks In 1998 "Spoils of conflict" a mini album CD is released by City Records.

Track list: Oblivion, Last mile, Times of frustration, Passage to Hades, Beyond, To the unknown. The song "Last mile" becomes a Video clip and is played by all Cyprus TV channels but also by Mad TV in Greece and the program �Jammin� of Greek National TV. Magazines as "Metal Hammer", "Rock Power", "Metal Invader", "True metal", write articles and make positive comments for the band. In all these the years always active apart from small periods of inactivity because of the known problems that all bands go through (changes of members, problems in finding substitutes, army e.t.c.) the band plays live almost everywhere in Cyprus , pubs, clubs, festivals, town halls and other events, television programs, and in concerts that they organise by themselves . They have played in concerts apart from Spitfire, with Rotting Christ, Nightingale, Antimatter, but also with Greek rock groups as Magic de Spell .
