The Armageddon Dildos are a German EBM band that was founded in 1988 by Uwe Kanka ( vocals ) and Dirk Krause ( synthesizer ) in Kassel. The name is a play on tipped with nuclear warheads ICBMs . The lyrics are partly in German, partly in English.

Band history

In 1986 the singer and guitarist Uwe Kanka and the keyboardist and programmer Dirk Krause got to know each other in Kassel. Three years later they founded the Armageddon Dildos. In the next few months they played their first concerts. The band focuses on live concerts , not studio work .

The debut single East-West became a club hit in the EBM scene in 1990 . In 1991, after only 11 days of production, the debut album That's Armageddon was released on the Zoth Ommog label , newly founded by Talla 2XLC .

With the follow-up album Homicidal Dolls , the band slowly breaks away from their role models ( DAF , Nitzer Ebb ), it is more sophisticated and straightforward. Compilation 07104 was released in 1994 . The albums " Lost " and " Unite " are still released by Zoth Ommog, after which the Armageddon Dildos signed a contract with the label Metronome.

The album Speed - more poppy than its predecessors - was originally supposed to appear on the Metronome label , but due to its dissolution it was finally released by RCA . Returning to the Zoth-Ommog label, the band released a collection of remixes of well-known songs with the album Re: Match . 2003 was the year dawn was released : the return to electronic roots.

After the tours “Speed” (1997) and “Ten Years of Zoth Ommog Anniversary” (1999) and the release of the album Re: Match , Dirk Krause left the band for private reasons.
