Their influences are from those Great Bands that have made history in Rock & Roll as: Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, as well as contemporary bands, Armagedon updates and solidifies their sound year after year. All their songs are written and sung in Spanish where the subject of politics and protest are main elements in Armagedon's music.

Que gusto recibir esta noticia, por ARMAGEDON que tanto se les extraña ya que como sabemos la escena musical de dicho género a decaido bastante, y bueno que mejor que musicos dedicados aborden al publico con su excelente trabajo y pleno respeto.
En buena hora Sr. Urquidi y que esta desicion sea de éxito y crecimiento para todos!
Armagedon es definitivamente la banda de Rock original mas importante y completa de Tijuana. La reincorporacion de Carlos confirma lo dicho, los tiempos cambian y los amigos se reunen. Morris es el animo total, Hector un pinche cabron virtuoso y poderoso, Nieves unico, Sergio una bala precisa y Carlos es un artista... que bueno es saber que otra vez y oficialmente estan juntos, eso significa para los fans que la historia continua y me siento orulloso de ustedes, espero encuentren la formula para hacer presentaciones mas frecuentes y accesibles a los morros que aun no los conocen, pero con mayor razon a los que los estamos esperando.. Un abrazo, MAESTROS, Danny Rock..!
