Armaggedon from Berlin is another German one-album band that split up after releasing a single album. Led by the excellent guitarist and singer Frank Diez and his dominant hard rock guitar, Manfred Galatik (piano, bass, vocals), Michael Nürnberg (bass, guitar) and Jürgen Lorenzen on drums a raw and hard-hitting style of blues rock, played with passion. The musicians spent just seven days in late July/early August 1970 at Munich’s Union Studios to record this masterpiece of heavy progressive rock. It contains six tracks, including four superb songs written by Frank Diez and Manfred Galatik themselves. The two cover versions are, firstly, an impressive ten-minute version of „Rice Pudding“ by the Jeff Beck Group, featuring fiery guitar riffs, and secondly, an outstanding variation on „Better By You, Better Than Me“ by Spooky Tooth.

Their self-titled debut album was released in November 1970 on the newly founded, progressive Kuckuck label as the label’s third release. Unfortunately, it went completely unnoticed at the time and the band disbanded shortly afterwards. Today, however, it is regarded as one of the best German heavy rock albums of the early 1970s and, as a result of steadily growing interest, its price has risen enormously.
