About the Artist
Please let us introduce to you this new metal outfit from the ever growing metal scene from the land of the windmills , clogs and flowers. After few years writing and practising songs in their rehearsal room, but keeping it silent, the time has come now to unleash LEGION OF THE DAMNED to mankind!!! `Malevolent Rapture' will hit the international metal scene with the precision of a missile launched at Bagdad. The band has written 12 uncompromising death/thrash songs that leave you behind with a lack of breath after listening to the album!

Many extreme bands forget that it is not only important to write neck-breaking headbanging tunes, but also to be able to control the speed! LEGION OF THE DAMNED monstrous riffs that hit you in the face like a concrete wall, are changing from normal speed to destroying all on its way ultra blast speed parts. The band has a very high technical playing level which keeps the aggressiveness under total control! Please check out the clockwork tight drumming and you know that this band is not for the weakly hearted! In spite of the speediness and the heaviness of the songs, LEGION OF THE DAMNED never forget that the songs need to have a groove!

This groove also makes it a real pleasure for your bleeding ears to get tortured over and over again by the sonic violence of LEGION OF THE DAMNED! The full of hate vocals, don't sound like a monotonous grunt, but are full of variety and remember you of a mix of Abbath, Mille and Araya.

Customer Reviews

100% Thrash
Germany has long been a manufacturer of undiluted thrash. All one has to do is think Kreator or Dew Scented. Though the name Legion of the Damned is new, this is really the band Occult (with a name change). Here you will find sharp-tinged, straight ahead mosh madness. There isn't anything fancy or really innovative on this release. Many of the songs sound similar and use age-old riff formulas. But I must admit, I got some satisfying neck whiplash from uncontrolled headbanging. Though I believe 2004's Elegy for the Weak is a better effort (under the Occult name), Malevolent Rapture is a excellent standard for German thrash.

Amazing new metal band!!
Thrash/Death metal at its finest this is a fine tribute to the gods!! we need more like this!!
