"Armageddon" comes from Black Sun, the 2002 album on which German power metallers Primal Fear built a whole record around one story for the first time, and it's a story told in widescreen: astronauts set out for a planet nobody has seen before, and their craft blows apart as it drops back into Earth's atmosphere. Fans often hear the song as the crew talking to the eagle that turns up on most of the band's album covers.
Ralf Scheepers takes the lead vocal, Mat Sinner plays bass and sings backup, Stefan Leibing and Henny Wolter handle the guitars and Klaus Sperling drums. All five share the production credit with Achim Koehler, who engineered and mixed it too, and the song got a music video of its own.
