LEGION OF THE DAMNED

LEGION OF THE DAMNED Issue Feel The Blade Statement


Dutch metallers LEGION OF THE DAMNED have checked in with the following update:

"We are getting a lot of emails from fans asking us still why another album is coming out and people wonder themselves if this is a financial issue: no new album, but releasing an old existing recording to earn some money.

Well, without sending everyone individual emails we rather put up a statement here. First of all the Feel The Blade album is NOT a NEW album, and its also NOT recorded recently. Many think we took some Occult songs and re-recorded them recently. This is not the case.

Feel The Blade comes from an album that Occult once released under the name Elegy For The Weak. We as band strongly believe that this album belongs to the Legion Of The Damned category and since the album is hard to get we will re-release it. Of course there may always be people out there who were able to buy an Elegy For The Weak copy for 10 or 15 Euro, but we put so much effort into this new release that even if you own a copy of the Elegy For The Weak album, this is still worth buying, it will not only have the elegy for the weak recording remastered but also two new songs and a cover song, plus a 127 minute long bonus DVD. This CD will come in three versions. One normal jewel-case version, one limited digipack version (with DVD) and one exclusive for AMAZON made version DVD format with six free cards and sticker, the DVD will also have an embossed cover. This last version will only come in 1000 pieces and only available through AMAZON worldwide.

For us this is a personal matter, that the Elegy For The Weak will see daylight again and that it will finally be available for everyone. This also makes it possible for us to play these songs again live since now they belong to the LOTD family.

We are very very happy with this killer release, there are killer tracks on it, and the package is a perfect item for every die hard thrash legion of the damned Maniac."

LEGION OF THE DAMNED "Working Very Hard On New Material"


Dutch metallers LEGION OF THE DAMNED have issued the following update:

"Greetings all male and female thrashers out there. I think its about time to bring you an update on the Legion Of The Damned camp right here from the front. Its snowing outside right now, which brings no good feelings towards next week shows we are going to do in Finland haha, its probably fucking freezing there. But seriously, we are looking forward to play Finland and we can't wait. Its been months ago we've been onstage, and Finland will be the first to see our saved anger and rage unleashed. They can expect the BEST songs out of the Legion trilogy: Malevolent Rapture, Sons Of The Jackal and of course Feel The blade.

Feel The Blade has been released in January and it was a huge success, not only in Germany we entered the official album charts, but so did we in Finland, Norway and Austria! We wanna thank everybody outthere, promoters, journalists and above all fans to make this all happen! You KILL.

But Legion Of The Damned is Legion Of The Damned, and that we decided not to play a lot this year and work on new material was a good decision. We are working very hard on new material and so far three songs are semi-ready. We even already know the album title, but in this stage we are not going to reveal anything, this shows that we are hungry and still have alot of aggression inside to make absolute killer songs!!

Expect Legion Of The Damned at its best and with songs that hit you right in the face even before you have heard more than two songs. Has Legion Of The Damned ever let you down with this? ;-)

The new album, which will be released in 2009, will be our last for now and we will probably focus on alot of shows.



All I can say is that everyone out there should prepare his or her headbang skills, because the new album and concerts in 2009 will be a serious attack on your neck muscles.

Legion Of The Damned recently unveiled their new video for the track 'Disturbing The Dead', lifted from their just released new album, Feel The Blade. Click below to view.
