Antony Hämäläinen Ex Nightrage Singer Antony Hmlinen Officially Joins Christopher

September 2007, Hämäläinen joined the Gothenburg based Melodic Death Metal band Nightrage.

In January 2015, Armageddon the Swedish Melodic Death Metal band led by former Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott announced him as their permanent vocalist.

He occasionally provides guest vocals for bands ranging in all genres of extreme metal both live, and in studio.

An avid sports and martial arts fan, he studies Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system.

Style

His voice is reminiscent of the early styles of In Flames's vocalist Anders Fridén. It has also been compared to that of At The Gates vocalist Tomas Lindberg.

In reference to his work on the Nightrage album Wearing A Martyr's Crown, Sputnikmusic wrote "Hämäläinen, from Finland, who has a lot of vocal similarities to Tomas Lindberg, which brings back a resemblance to their original sound from their first two albums". Added to his clean vocals "he can still maintain a melodic edge, but he only does it every now and again within the album; he only does it for the purpose of giving some of the songs a musical edge so the listener doesn’t fall asleep thinking that the only new addition of style is just a higher use of acoustic guitars."
