Legion (Deicide album)

Legion is the second album by American death metal band Deicide, released on June 9, 1992 by Roadrunner Records.

[citation needed] According to Joe DiVita of Loudwire, a rumor exists that the album had to be retracked due to its extremely high tempos causing it to be too short.

"[2] Kelly Simms of Invisible Oranges assessed that on Legion, Deicide deviated from the "extreme elements" that were abundant on their debut album and pursued a "more straightforward brutal aesthetic.

[citation needed] The album's guitar riffs utilize tremolo picking and have been described as "sinister", "chunky", "hooky" and "catchy".

According Zeke Ferrington of Gear Gods, "the scratchy distortion hides all the killer riffing behind a veil of obnoxious, high frequencies.

[citation needed] Metal Storm said Legion is "in general a good album, some songs are well executed and with complex musical writing, but there are others that are just very simple and repetitive".
