Review/ Legion: "A bliss to suffer"

They haven't calmed down: Legion know what 21st century Black Metal should sound like.

Legion already surprised us in 2006 with their album “Revocation”. And don't expect them to have calmed down after their first real success; “A bliss to suffer” is really extreme, pure brutality, uncompromising and dark.

Some atmospheric touches & classics Black Metal riffs reinforce this demonic feeling emerging from this Scandinavian formation. Everything is there right from the first song until the last. Fans of the old Black Metal cavalery (Immortal, Marduk & Co…) will be delighted about this New Black Metal Wave. Legion truly know what 21st century Black Metal should sound like.
