Tyrant ~ Battle of Armageddon

One of my favorite songs off of the Metal Massacre III album by Tyrant called The Battle of Armageddon. The song would also appear on Tyrants first album titled Legions of the Dead
Lineup of the band:
Glen May
Rocky Rockwell
Greg May
Rob Roy

Wow, I havn't heard this in years. I have the album on vinyl somewhere but probably have not given it a spin in over 20 years. At that time I thought this was about as extreme as any metal I'd heard. Hell, now I'm in my forties and listen to everything from classic 70/80s metal up to current death, grind and black metal. The times sure have changed. This doesn't seem nearly as evil now. Interesting stuff.

aww here come the tears i forget this song man many years

[@kingedward5892]

Makes me feel good listening to metal . My friend played Armageddon on his bass when I went to his house.

[@ToujoursLAmour]

This is cool, but the riff is obviously lifted from "Here Come the Tears" by Judas Priest.

[@Redneck88Rampage]

epic better than slipknot metallica

@Lengsel7 Well sorry the reply took two years, but technically no. This is not the original version. The original version was recorded for a Metal Blade Record called, "Metal Massacre III". The album featured demos of local thrash bands. This song was on that album but not this particular version. I think it's been re recorded three different times. Either way amazing song.

as I know theres 2 versions but this is the first one I heard which I believe was on the metal massacre lll release

[@p4horror]

I actually prefer the Metal Massacre version better than the "Legions" version. Thanks for posting. I always liked the singer's piercing notes. It really gave this already killer song more definition.

[@grindfreakmike5754]

Not quite the guitar is heard better with this version, the recording sounds more professional.

[@grindfreakmike5754]

this is there best version of this tune, love the guitar work, just a great tune

Is this the original version? I don't remember it quite like this. Maybe 'cause I've always heard this on a crappy cassette.
