LEGION OF THE DAMNED

Release Year: 2023
Artist Origin: NED
Style: intense thunderous death thrash metal

with a freshly joined second guitarist Fabian Verweij, the latest so far studio output immediately broadens the sonic range of long-time Dutch crew, as the additional six string not only thickens the attack but also allows for more intricate interplay between razor-edged riffs and shadowy harmonies, where sudden melodic lines pierce through the otherwise relentless wall of aggression, revealing a darker, almost cinematic undertone that had rarely been so prominent in their discography; what surprises most is how seamlessly these atmospheric flourishes coexist with their trademark thrash/death ferocity, making the record simultaneously heavier, more dynamic, and convincingly one of their most ambitious works yet; limited three panel double digipak edition comes with twenty page booklet and fifteen live tracks on second CD, nailed in Eindhoven in 2020 and 2022
