Armageddon was the only album released by British/American hard rock group Armageddon in 1975. It features Keith Relf of The Yardbirds and Renaissance fame, Martin Pugh, lead guitarist on Rod Stewart's "An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down" and with Steamhammer, Bobby Caldwell who was the drummer of Captain Beyond and with Johnny Winter, and Louis Cennamo who was the bass player for Renaissance and Steamhammer. Armageddon sought to create a style unlike any other in rock. Armageddon was the last band to feature ex-Yardbird Keith Relf. The former lead singer and harmonica player of the band that launched Clapton, Beck and Page, Relf had abandoned his blues-guitar band roots when he founded Renaissance in the late 1960s. However, when he created Armageddon, he became involved with one of the best guitar rock albums of the 70's.
Keith Relf, and ex-Steamhammer members, Martin Pugh and Louis Cennamo came to L.A. and hooked up with ex-Captain Beyond drummer Bobby Caldwell to form Armageddon. Peter Frampton recommended Armageddon to A&M Records, and because he was their top selling artist at the time, they listened to him. Although the group's self-titled album was well received by critics and fans, the band did not tour extensively, and, consequently, sales suffered. This proved to be the last stand for Relf and Armageddon. Keith returned to England due to poor health shortly after the album was released. Relf's health and reported drug use among some band members led to Armageddon failing to release any more material. Keith Relf died shortly after returning to England, when he was electrocuted while playing guitar in his basement. His amp (at 220 volts) was improperly grounded, and he stepped onto a floor drain.
