There are several bands by the name of Armageddon.
1. A hard rock band formed in 1975, comprising drummer Bobby Caldwell, previously a member of Captain Beyond, singer Keith Relf, who had fronted the enormously influential Yardbirds as well as having been a co-founder of Renaissance, guitarist Martin Pugh, of Steamhammer fame, and bassist Louis Cennamo, also formerly of Renaissance and Steamhammer. They only released one album, the self titled Armageddon. The band only played a few gigs to promote the album which suffered the fate of being largely ignored as a result, only recently gaining something of a reputation amongst fans of hard rock. Soon after this Relf died in an accident, electrocuting himself while playing his electric guitar. (The tale that he died while playing said instrument in the bathtub is an urban legend.)
2. A metal band led by Christopher Amott, formerly of Arch Enemy and brother of AE guitarist Michael Amott. At the time of Armageddon’s debut album (Crossing The Rubicon) in 1997, Amott was playing in both bands concurrently, and soon after its release he announced that he couldn’t devote time to both groups, deciding to focus on AE and put this band to bed. But three years later, and two years after that, new albums appeared, curiously released in Japan only, with varying lineups surrounding Amott.
3. A Psychedelic Rock band, with a self-titled album in 1970.
4. A Dutch hardcore producer from the 90’s : Maurice Steenbergen .
5. Drum and Bass DJ/artist/producer Ray Keith also recorded under this name in the early 90s.
6. A Crust/Thrash/Hardcore band from Brasil.
7. Heavy/Power Metal band from Pécs, Hungary. They released only one album with the title “Válaszra várva” in 2003. After that, they disbanded.

I can see that no one has mentioned the Hungarian Armageddon yet. It's a shame as "Válaszra várva" is one of my favourite Hungarian heavy metal albums ever. Too bad they disbanded after releasing that CD.
