    Destruction Metal is what they call it themselves. Armageddon Holocaust appears to be a project of the combined forces of the Dark Doktor (from Bealiah) and the Dark Thriller, both from Indonesia. What they've made is an extreme black metal piece consisting of twelve tracks describing the darker moments of human history yet to come. The production by Jefray Arwadi (from Kekal) is treble-emphasized creating a primitive sound. Along with depressing dark melodies and a cracking vocal style they remind me a bit of the Horde album though this record sounds more aggressive and nasty. On Countdown To Destruction you can hear violent and dark music with distant noises like the noises from a pigsty. One of the better cuts on In Total Destruction is Seven Bowls Of Destruction. The drums bore me constantly though as they sound like a drummachine at full speed all the time. For those who want it here's some morbid music to scare your friends off.
