Armagedda was a Swedish black metal band that carved its niche in the extreme metal scene in the early 2000s with a raw, unadulterated sound that harked back to the genre's early days. Formed in Norrland in 1999 by Graav and A, who adopted the stage names of their respective instruments—vocals/bass and drums—the band initially operated under the title "Volkermord" but later changed their moniker to Armagedda. Their music took on a relentlessly grim and frostbitten aesthetic, gaining momentum in the underground with each subsequent release.

The band's discography is a journey through the cold and desolate landscapes of black metal, with albums such as "Only True Believers" (2003) establishing their reputation for ferocious and uncompromising soundscapes. "Ond Spiritism" (2004), Armagedda's third album, continued to showcase their evolution while maintaining their raw edge. As the years passed, their work - including the profound darkness of "Echoes in Eternity" and the stark atmosphere of "Svindeldjup Ättestup" - managed to keep the essence of black metal alive even as trends within the genre shifted. Despite having disbanded in 2004, Armagedda's influence continued through reissues and posthumous releases, including the instrumental variation of their track "Ændalykt" and "The Final War Approaching," thus cementing their legacy as purveyors of true Scandinavian black metal.
