It is Wednesday, and I had a day off. During today I needed something to get me going through the day, and this mix you are about to listen to gave me enough energy to keep me going. And if you are into Industrial Hardcore, the name Armageddon Project might give you goosebumps. If you aren't, why the freaking heck are you reading this? You must know them, this famous duo from Italy, bringing the fire wherever they go. Well, to be fair, I've never seen them live, so I can't judge, but on multiple social outlet pages people seem to have enjoyed their sets, so I'm guessing or a) they are lying or b) they really liked it.
If anyone knows what's the current status of this duo, that would be appreciated. I've checked, and couldn't find anything of interest recently posted. It's been rather quiet, and by looking at their agenda of past events, they don't perform that often. So it's a rarity to see Armageddon Project live, eh? It's a rarity that a lot of people look out for.
Since the early Millennium years I've been listening to Armageddon Project, and I think the one track that took me by surprise was 'Spawn Of Misanthropy'. When I heard that track for the first time many years ago, I knew that this was going to be something else. And many do agree that this specific song is fire.
Many agree also that they gave Industrial Hardcore a face. They gave their style a unique face, an approach not done by others. You can tell by just listening that it's an Armageddon Project song. They do stand out, and they bring the rawness wherever they go.
Over the years they have released a lot of wicked tracks, and introduced many people to Industrial Hardcore, including the DJ who made this mix (I think). A-Vortex made this mix a year ago, and it's roughly 70 minutes of Armageddon Project. 32 records. What else would you wish for?

This is a very big tracklist, and it took me a while to bloody type. But in the end it's worth it, because you want to know what A-Vortex used in this 70+ minute appreciation mix.
Of course it's packed with epic Industrial Hardcore anthems, mainly made by Armageddon Project and a few friends (like Promo and Tommyknocker). But mainly these were made by Armageddon Project, and they have become timeless classics. The one thing I've noticed are the track titles. They all seem to be quite dark and edgy. They could literally be the titles of Harry Potter books. The darker side of HP. But in all seriousness, these are quite dark, and it's like AP is telling us a story, a hidden message?
I do love this mix, and I love the records selected. A-Vortex's dedication mix is a good one. With a few small errors, but nothing major. Worth checking out, and worth spending 70+ minutes listening to. It won't disappoint you. Well, it didn't disappoint me.
Of course I had to pick a favourite song, and it has to be 'Spawn Of Misanthropy'. Probably their biggest hit ever.
