What customers say

I visited Armageddon Shop in Providence for the first time on December 28th, 2017 and I have to say it's probably the best record store within a one-hundred mile radius of my hometown of Waterford, Connecticut. If you're into punk rock & heavy metal then this is the place for you!

Best record shop in the region for punk metal and all the adjacent stuff, running by really great people. Armageddon is central to the things that makes Providence great. The folks who run this place are legit and aren't here to make it rich but just to do right by the world.

I went to this place about a week ago for the first time because newbury comics never has anything good for CDs or vinyls. This place is a gold mine if anyone is looking for good metal albums. I found albums I have yet to see anywhere else. Definitely coming here from now on.

★★★★★ — Mike, 2024-01

The best prices in the New England area when it comes to vinyl. Went home with a fat stack of great finds less than $40. The space is dog-friendly and a large variety of all music, but especially punk and metal. Would recommend to anyone visiting Federal Hill!
