Artist: THE LEGION
Album: A BLISS TO SUFFER (CD)

Release date: 2009
Media type: CD

THE LEGION'S MARCH OF CONQUEST STARTED IN 1999 WITH THE PURPOSE TO BRING PLAGUE AND VIOLENCE TO THE WORLD. THE BAND WENT OFF TO LEGENDARY ABYSS STUDIOS IN JUNE 2003 TO RECORD THE DEBUT ALBUM "UNSEEN TO CREATION" WITH PRODUCER TOMMY TДGTGREN. THE LEGION CONTINUED THEIR ONSLAUGHT WITH SEVERAL TOURS, AND RETURNED WITH THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED FOLLOW UP "REVOCATION" IN 2006.

WITH A RE-ENFORCED LINE-UP – SEEING VOCALIST MARTINSSON REJOINING FORCES ACCOMPANIED BY THE NEW BASS PLAYER ANDERSSON – THE LEGION HAS NOW RECORDED THEIR MOST MATURE, VICIOUS AND DARK RELEASE TO DATE. THUS, "A BLISS TO SUFFER" WILL SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY THIS APRIL. THE BAND'S DARK AND GLOOMY ROOTS, THE RELENTLESS SPEED AND SEVERE BRUTALITY BLEND TOGETHER WITH RATHER ATMOSPHERIC ELEMENTS THIS TIME, TAKING THE ALREADY LETHAL CONCOCTIONS TO NEW HEIGHTS, RARELY SEEN IN THE BLACK METAL SCENE.

ENTIRELY PRODUCED BY THE BAND MEMBERS THEMSELVES (ENGINEERED AND MIXED BY GUITARIST KOTTELIN), AND MASTERED BY PETER IN DE BETOU AT TAILOR MAID PRODUCTIONS, "A BLISS TO SUFFER" IS BACKED UP WITH A GENUINE AND POWERFUL PRODUCTION THAT FITS THE ARTISTIC EXPRESSION PERFECTLY.

IF YOU LIKE YOUR BLACK METAL EXTREME AND UNCOMPROMISING, YET WITH ENOUGH VARIATION AND FRESH ELEMENTS TO KEEP UP YOUR INTEREST, THEN THE LEGION IS THE BAND OF THE FUTURE. LISTEN AND BE CONVINCED!
