Finally Legion arrives!!!
This album marks the birth of Marduk's finest era, the first record with one of the most impressive and violent frontmen in the Black Metal scene, a man with an incredibly powerful voice that reaches unimaginable tones and shivering screams, a monstrous presence that killed and savaged each and every stage that he touched, he is the one and only, Legion ladies and gentlemen!
This record musically destroys everything in its path; here we can't fully hear Legion's brain (YET!) as this is only his debut, so the music comes in the same line that the band managed to keep since "Those Of The Unlight", straight and utterly aggressive Black Metal, now with a more powerful set of growls performed by the aforementioned name.
Most of us already know how this album sounds, and we also know that "Heaven Shall Burn…" is almost impossible to get nowadays right? Then a record label was smart enough to re-issue this material with incredible bonus tracks, and now you can reach the impossible via Regain Records, and not only that, you'll also get extra material that will melt the brains of most Marduk fans.
This might not be Marduk's best effort, it might not be an unequalled and utter masterpiece, but it's sure a huge Black Metal classic, it sure earned a spot in your shelves and it will unmercifully assault your mind and ears alter your body is all dry and covered with corpse-paint.

I really love this album when it comes to black metal. It's just "get in, and get out" full out speed, but with interesting bits here and there. It's not a masterpiece, but I rank it higher than albums that are usually called black metal masterpieces (Emperor's In the Nightside Eclipse is very overrated).
I personally think it is Marduk's best effort. No other album of theirs has as much identity or consistency. |

| This album has great atmosphere...its my favorite so far after Panzer Division Marduk...I would have to say that Glorification of the Black God is my favorite track. |

| It's one of my favorite Marduk albums. "Infernal Eternal" is great. High speed Black Metal at it's best. |

Much better production, and the sound much faster than the previous albuns. It kinda kills the dark ambient that the other works offer, but still a good album.
One of the worst albums of Marduk. My highlights are ''Glorification of the black god'', ''Darkness it shall be'' and ''Black tormentor of Satan''.
Legion also has good attractives. |
