Armaggedon from Berlin is another one-album band that split up after the release of their sole album, released in November 1970 on the progressive Kuckuck label. Led by the excellent guitarist and singer Frank Diez and his dominant hard-rock guitar, Manfred Galatik (p, b, voc), Michael Nürnberg (b, g) and Jürgen Lorenzen on drums created a raw and hard blues rock style, 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 originals written by Frank Diez and Manfred Galatik, as well as two cover versions. An impressive ten-minute version of „Rice Pudding“ by the Jeff Beck Group, featuring fiery guitar riffs, and an outstanding variation of „Better By You, Better Than Me“ by Spooky Tooth.

Unfortunately, the self-titled LP, released in November 1970, went completely unnoticed at the time and the band broke up soon 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.
