Biography

Warmageddon was created in the midsummer of 2007 by John Faulconer and Gab Harpelle. With John on guitar and vocals and Gab on bass, they started writing music as an untitled band name. Dave Ramsay later joined the group, adding beats to the already grim and headbanging black metal band, later deciding upon the name Warmageddon.

The Band went on a temporary hiatus after one of the members had a run-in with the law and was sent to jail for a period of time. During his incarceration, the rest of the band continued to jam and write music for when the time came to play as a band once again.

After release, Warmageddon wrote more music and perfected their sound. After a few months of jamming, they recorded their unreleased Demo "Lies" in Gabs basement on tape (Available through Ramsay or Jason). Soon after recording, The lead singer of Generals Gathered (a local Doom Metal band) Jason Caron tried out for a vocal spot due to John not being able to play and sing at the same time. Jay was immediately hired, and completed the final lineup for Warmageddon.

Warmageddon played their first show in the Cafeteria of Hillcrest High School, playing and ultimately winning the Schools "Battle of the Bands" (beating out Without The Glory, a well-known local rock band). After the show, Warmageddon had a strict talking to from a teacher at the school, due to the fact that the last song the band played (a cover of Darkthrones "Too Old, Too Cold") had numerous "Fucks" and "shits". The band still looks back on that day as the funniest moment of their entire time as a band. Warmageddons second and final show was at an open jam at the Black Pirates Pub in August of 2008. After which the band turned in their instruments due to both Gab and John moving away from Thunder Bay. A reunion show is in talks with the members for either Christmas 2008 or summer 2009, but nothing has been confirmed yet.


Today, John lives in Ottawa and Gab resides in Montreal. Ramsay and Jason still live in Thunder Bay, making the best of not having Warmageddon around.


Warmageddons "Lies" Demo is available on CD by contacting Dave Ramsay or Jason Caron.
