ARMAGEDDON HOLOCAUST



BAND NAME: Armageddon Holocaust
GENRE: Unblack Metal with Thrash Influences (see notes)
STATUS: Split-up
LOCATION: Indonesia (Jakarta, Java)

Formed around the end of 1999.

"Into Total Destruction" was meant to be the only Armageddon Holocaust album. All future material was to be released under Doctor D's self-named solo project. However, because of the success of the debut album, THT Productions had the band release Doctor D's other material under the name Armageddon Holocaust instead. Because of this, their exact style varies a fair bit between releases. For example, "Into Total Destruction" is more brutal/fast, while "Radioactive Zone 245" has more groove and experimental sections.

I don't know who the above is a picture of. They said at one point that there were no public photos of Doctor D, so given it appeared on their 2000 album, it would either be a picture of Jefray, or Dark Thriller.

The band call their music "Apocalyptic Destruction Metal".

Doctor D also went by the names "Dozhaiatlach D." and "Dark Doctor".

Lyrics are currently unavailable but in the interview in "links", Dark Thriller describes them thus: "We take the main topic from Book of Revelation, about the endtime but we emphasize the death side and the destruction where will occur in the Earth. The Book of Revelation itself is very provocative. We just want to share the news of total destruction which will be coming soon. In the midst of millennium celebration parties, many people have forgotten that this Earth will be no longer survived."

"Part of lyrics were directly taken from the original biblical texts and the others were written by ourselves based on the inspiration of certain passages but all of them are come from the Book of Revelation"

The lyric sheet above is presumably from the CD version?
I'm going to try to read the lyrics, and whatever I can get, I'll add here.

Note, tracks 1 and 2 are reversed on the cassette version.

1) Riffmonster
 4:04, partial lyrics:
As Hellhammer did Apocalyptic Raids 20 years ago

Speed drumming and (?) guitar playing

The scene is now getting (?)
When everything is taken up (?)
Where is our rock n' roll (?)
All we get is a war (?)
Remember the nostalgic (?)

The riffs, the (?) the guitars

2) Hazardous Aquatic Transmission
4:05, partial lyrics:
All systems failure

Water's (?) comes closer
Aquatic disastrous manifestation
Governmental (?)
Indifference from the (?)
Unparalleled lies

3) Punch n' Shake
3:40, partial lyrics:

4) Q-Factor
2:44 (does this song have any lyrics?)
.
5) March of the Unlimited
8:04, partial lyrics:
Time and space, dimensions of life
Stars and planets, spheres in a void of darkness
I reach for my sky under the atmosphere
Earth has a limit, it follows the order
Yet to be discovered, secrets of our world
Seem to be unlimited (?)
I (?) for my time, under the atmosphere
We have a limit, a hundred years lifespan
There is only one truth
Million miles of our 3 dimensional (?) space
Zillions of spherical things are marching inside
Approaching the gaping black hole (?)
Even the unlimited, will meet their demise
Time and space, dimensions of life
Stars and planets, spheres in a void of darkness
I (?) for my death as a part of the universe

Got to kill my flesh (?) your undesire
Got to (?) my brain (?) thoughts
Got to burn my (vein?) (?) your (?) cold blood

.
7) Widowmaker
6:24, partial lyrics:
(?) face with a (?) breath
Never to let her (?) unnoticed
Surveillance with eyes wide open
Ready to get her under my gun
I give her a sinful (pleasure?)
Seducing the bride of Christ
Widowmaker is one of my wicked names
Temptation my last weapon
I'll make her (?) because of me
I'll make her drunk from my dirty words
I give her a (?) of attraction

Demons (?) inside the (wall?)
I know that I shall die soon
I already lost the war in Heaven
But it's my goal to fool you first
Beware the widowmaker!

Thousands of (?) in the flesh, (?)

Dies Irae (album, 8 September, 2013, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

Recorded in 2004. Remastered in August, 2013, and released in September of the same year.

The reason this took so long to release, was that Dark Thriller owned the rights to this material -- but he left the band in 2003, so the remaining members were unable to use the material at the time. The reason why the band was able to publish the material in 2013 is not clearly stated on Bandcamp. (Presumably, they came to an agreement with Dark Thriller?)

1) ...and Even the Final War Fails
00:56, lyrics:
"You are authorized to destroy."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!"

2) The Old One Shall Be Destroyed
5:26, lyrics:
Nothing is more paralyzing
Than our acid clouds in the sky
Darkness, who seems to rule the Earth
Through it's finest incarnation
Grade-A horror is a future uncertain
Fear has already taken it's place
Through wars and exploitation we ride
Burn every side of our mother's skin
Alive or dead, no one shall differentiate
Regeneration is a mere zombificaton
Toxic storm shall arriving in seconds
Where humans dwell in pains
The old one shall be destroyed
Global nihilistic annihilation
No one shall remain as a living being
Vanishing or being perished
Closer to a blackest void, void...
Blood and fire came as one
Solid hunger for a victorious state
Driven by desire for immortality
Us, shall inherit the coming ages
Watching the Earth's destruction
Through cosmic intermission
Major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
Ultimate disaster's grand manifestation


3) Events in a Nucleus
2:37, lyrics:
Hours of madness have arrived
Never to waste a nano-second
The old ball has waited for its demise
It's about time to make it happen
When they gather to form a suicidal posture
Together they shall fall, and soon be forgotten
Death comes to the center of the Earth
Initiated by series of bizarre events
Enhancing the pain to this already bitter life
Ultimate diminishing process has begun
From now on, who will say "I shall bear all my pains"?
Only fools of the fools, who put their lives on themselves
This suffering will never ever stop
Escalating at the end of the line
Reaching its peak where no one shall survive
Death comes to the center of the Earth
Initiated by series of bizarre events
Enhancing the pain to this already bitter life
Ultimate diminishing process has begun
Only fools of the fools, who put their lives on themselves


4) Kataklysmic Power
4:43, lyrics:
Kataklysmic Power - Nihilistic Destruction Machine
Reality's horrors - Annihilation principles of nature
Tidal waves, Tsunami's anger manifesto
Raging storms, thunders and hurricanes
The earthquakes, cracks in the underworld
Volcanoes, vomiting fire and brimstone
Kataklysmic Power - Nihilistic Destruction Machine
Reality's horrors - Annihilation principles of nature
Thousands people die at one single strike
But it's not a murder, it's an act of mother
We've spent ages for all unrelenting exploitations
To our only place where we share the use of oxygen
Shall a haven destroy its inhabitants
Tranquility transformed into chaos
Humankind is too weak to comprehend
Even for the ways of its survival
Die at the beginning of apocalyptic surge
Universe is storming unto you in anger
You have no right to choose to stay alive
You have no right to choose how you die
Tidal waves, Tsunami's anger manifesto
Raging storms, thunders and hurricanes
The earthquakes, cracks in the underworld
Face the power...


5) Retropsychosis
2:12, lyrics:
In the name of noise and distortion
They invade your mind with metallic molecules
1984 is here, analog sound's your lover
Tunes of the old, come to reign your heart
You are a pure Speed Metal generation
Trapped in this post-modern depression
You are not awaken to share confusion
Your time is the past, keep thrashing 'till last
Now is time for the steel carnival
The amps are set to the max
For the love of full distortions
And the screaming sounds of feedback
You are a pure Speed Metal generation
Trapped in this post-modern depression
You are here for the lo-fi infatuation
Always play it fast, keep thrashing 'till last
Retropsychosis
You are a pure Speed metal generation
Trapped in this post-modern depression
You're not here for the rock n' roll tradition
Always play it fast, keep thrashing 'till last


6) Pools of Blood
4:55, lyrics:
There will be an era for global war
Nations are in battle against nations
Provoked by only one insignificant issue
We were excessively easy to be deceived
One saw great obliteration only human could make
Triggered by a choice under the power of free will
In the blood there is a seed of depravity
Not as an instinct, but the true nature of man
There is no safe place for peace to dwell here
Every second is a time for violence
When the countries become pools of blood
And stench of rotten corpses fills the atmosphere
Inhaling death in every breath you take
You cannot defend against your wish of death
Fire will sweep away everything that exists
Complete annihilation will finally be done
To the place where all the falsehood lies
The only place we name it Earth


7) The Deceiver's Last Stand
3:17, lyrics:
Thick smoke filled up the sky
The clouds were set ablaze
Raining fire started to fall
To fall upon the lands of the wasted
All heavens burning, oxygen's carbonized
Treasures of this once paradise
They shall be vanished for eternity
Destruction is at the hand of the Executioner
A sudden appearance of global doom
Sun will never rise again
Damnation is coming to this Earth
Consuming all that exists
Wars and conflicts among all nations
Unity and peace were never achieved
Retribution is waiting for those who deserve
Impending doom - The deceiver's last stand
Firestorms, blazing inferno
Death's door is open for mankind
Marching towards the last episode
Where destruction comes to eliminate
The falsehood of all humanity


8) Universal Doom
8:22, lyrics:
Imminent is the grand universal doom
At a journey within our time and space
Marching, towards the end of our dimensions
...and we are waiting for our demise
The end of industrial sophistication
The end of substantial complexity
The end of rational assimilation
The end of holistic sequence
The end of all religious values
The end of pretense and hypocrisy
The end of arrogance and self-divinity
The end of philosophical theories
The end of political standards
The end of economical systems
The end of governmental principles
The end of norms and constitutions
The end of everything created by man
