My HeadBangers please welcome from the Netherlands the Thrash/Death Metal Band:
LEGION OF THE DAMNED
“Contamination”
“Beheading Of The Godhead”
This band has been around since 1992. They first went by the name “Occult”, then in 2006 changed it to “Legion Of The Damned”. I can only begin to count how many pages their history would take, so I’m giving you the short version.
Lyrically the band tends to focus on horror motifs, dark occult and religious themes and apocalyptic events. They have recorded their albums Malevolent Rapture and Sons of the Jackal in the well known Stage One Studio with producer Andy Classen. The special edition of their 2008 release “Cult of the Dead” comes with an item unique in metal merchandising (and possibly all genres of music), being a cheese block emblazoned with their logo. This is a nod to their Dutch origins.
So that was their bio. WTH you might say, yeah that’s what I said. It’s just not clear to me why a band that has been around as long as this one, with as many gigs, etc. would not have a great bio and a lot of history. I’m sure they do but I couldn’t find it. I do love their music, I also like to know more. If any of my HeadBangers know anything let me know, I’m really curious about this, it’s just mysterious to me, but maybe that’s what they want.
Let’s meet the band:
Well my HeadBangers that’s all I have for this week. I wish I could find out more but it’s like that sometimes. BUT September is coming and I have planned interviews galore for my HeadBangers. Join me Wednesday for Hump Day and next Saturday for some Thrash from Finland.
Remember, don’t stand to close to the fire if you can’t handle the burn…..
Please feel free to leave me a comment or question, I appreciate it HeadBangers:
