Armageddon Productions is a Heavy Metal and Hard Rock Concert promotions company created by Ed Farshtey who started booking shows again full time in Sept 2010 with the newly formed Wendigo Productions based out of the Lower East Side, NYC. After booking 200+ shows and several tours with Wendigo over 6 years, I formed Armageddon Productions in September 2016, concentrating on all genres of Underground Metal and NYC based Hard Rock.
Ed Farshtey has been actively involved in the Metal underground since 1983, first tape trading, then starting the fanzine THE BOOK OF ARMAGEDDON in late 1985 with Mark Sokoll. In early 1990 I began working at ROADRUNNER RECORDS in NYC and was there for 2 1/2 years during the entire Death Metal explosion. During this time I also began booking some shows locally and even one in Detroit, MI. In 1992 I formed RAGE RECORDS with Joe Pupo and we proceeded to release eight 7” eps and ran a successful mail order distro for 5 years. In the summer of 2010 WENDIGO PRODUCTIONS was formed based out of a retail store/office in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The store sold records, clothing and accessories as well as being our base of operations for concert promotions. Hundreds of shows were booked from small bars to Irving Plaza and Bowery Ballroom. I also booked several US tours ranging from a few days to 6 weeks across the country. I did the first RAGE OF ARMAGEDDON festival in 2013, hand picking every band for each fest to create the ultimate show that I would enjoy, as well as other like minded metalheads. ARMAGEDDON PRODUCTIONS was started in September 2016 to further my concert promotions in the NYC area, primarily concentrating on all forms of Underground Metal - Thrash, Traditional, Power, Death, Grind, Black, as well as NYC based Hard Rock bands.
