Here's a band I've been listening to for almost 2 years now. They only recorded one album in 1970, and it is a very awesome album. Here's a site with addtional info:
 
You can listen to 3 out of the 6 songs from their album here:

Great band i have also that 1970 album:
 

Armaggedon

Fronted by prolific guitarist Frank Diez, Armageddon were one of the foremost Berlin exponents of Anglo-American inspired rock, and much better than most of their contemporaries, yet until the CD reissue hardly anyone had heard of them! With their influence clearly defined, the album contained excellent versions of Jeff Beck's "Rice Pudding" and Spooky Tooth's "Better By You, Better Than Me", Armageddon should have been an international hit, as they had an accessible sound with lots of complex and highly progressive elements. But, as with most Kuckuck releases, nobody noticed. Nowadays it's revered as one of the finest heavy rock albums in the early-70's. Unfortunately short-lived, Armageddon only made the one album and then split.

Frank Diez (lead guitar, vocals), Manfred Galatik (electric piano, bass, vocals), Michael Nürnberg (bass, rhythm guitar), Jürgen Lorenzen (drums)

ARMAGGEDON (7-8/70)
LP Kuckuck 2375 003 (1970)

 

Some info for the Crack in The Cosmic Egg.

Hi AP & Alberto...Smile
 
I'm afraid you're not going to like me very much, but after a lot of consideration and a thorough luisten to the album, Armaggedon were voted against, 3-0 for inclusion.
 
That said, we did think it was a fair suggestion, as there's a lot of Bluesy/Psych influenced heavy guitar, but ultimately their own output is VERY limited, and overall, it's just not progressive enough for us to consider as an entry. 
 
I'm sure you guys will understand, and we'll look forward to a drip feed of suggestions from you both, in the future...Wink
