Christopher Abbott, a former guitarist of Arch Enemy, has announced a new lineup and album for his band Armageddon. The official lyric video for "Captivity & Devourment", the title track off of the new album from the band, can be seen below.

Armageddon first came to life in Sweden in 1997 as a studio project with the release of Crossing The Rubicon, a sci-fi themed concept album. Two more full-length efforts followed, Embrace The Mystery in 2000 and Three in 2003. Both albums featured different lineups and a change in musical direction, with Amott remaining as the band's sole consistent member.

Due later in the year, Captivity & Devourment consists of 10 tracks.

The new Armageddon lineup is:

  • Matt Hallquist - Lead Vocals
  • Christopher Amott - Guitar, Clean Vocals
  • Joey Concepcion - Guitar
  • Sara Claudius - Bass
  • Márton Veress - Drums
