HISTORY and INTRODUCTION :

ARMAGEDDON HOLOCAUST was originally a one-time project band consists of Dark Doktor (also known as Doctor D) and Dark Thriller. They unleashed its phenomenal album "Into Total Destruction" in July 2000, the only album which was intended to be released under the name ARMAGEDDON HOLOCAUST before the band disbands itself. Their musical concept is what they call "APOKALYPTIC DESTRUCTION METAL", with the fastest, most extreme and intense structure of old-school black metal music. The lyrical concept focused on the apokalyptic prophecies about destruction of the Earth. The music represents the mood of death and destruction that shall come to the planet before the great day of Armageddon. A totally brutal and fast raging metal music from start to finish that soon received many great responses from the media and fans due to its unrelenting extremity. Shortly, the album started to become the legend of itself as the band was no more (for a while).

Later in 2002, both Doctor D and Dark Thriller have recorded their own solo-projects separately under the name DOCTOR D and DISASTROUS AGE. Both bands represent their own basic roots of metal. Doctor D's influences were old-school extreme metal in the vein of Venom, Motorhead, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Bathory, Unseen Terror, and some Discharge as well, and he recorded a full-length release which was planned to be out under the title "D-Liverance".

Dark Thriller's band DISASTROUS AGE was taking another extreme direction, a more brutal death metal feel in the old-school way. Unfortunately in the middle of recording sessions, Dark Thriller left the project after only recorded guitar tracks for a couple of songs as he found himself too busy with his non-musical activities. Both bands got some significant help by Meister J in the production duties as well as performaces. The 2 songs from DISASTROUS AGE's unfinished sessions were later edited and mixed by Meister J himself (in order to be released as a 3-way split or a compilation).

It was July 2002 when Dark Thriller decided to resurrect ARMAGEDDON HOLOCAUST and once again he would bring Doctor D and Meister J together in one unit as band performers. He himself will contribute only on the songwriting but not performing in any future albums. In October 2002, Doctor D finally agreed to join ARMAGEDDON HOLOCAUST and he even disbanded his "strange" and overlooked DOCTOR D band.

Almost all the material for new (and unreleased) DOCTOR D's album "D-Liverance" is re-presented here as ARMAGEDDON HOLOCAUST's 2nd album "Radioactive Zone 245". ARMAGEDDON HOLOCAUST is back and will bring many casualties once again! PREPARE FOR TOTAL WAR !!!!
