Armageddon

This 1979 release captures the group moving toward a polished, arena-ready aesthetic. The heavy use of synthesizers and sharp guitar hooks points toward a commercial direction common for rock radio during the late seventies.

Fairbairn oversaw the sessions, which illustrate the shift of Canadian hard rock away from its rugged origins. The record reflects a push toward the high-gloss production styles that characterized much of the following decade.
