Ladies and gentlemen here we have a thrash metal masterpiece. I haven't been so excited over a thrash metal album since the haunted first attempt! The guys from the Netherlands came back with their most mature album till now. Legion of the damned music is like this: put on a table Sodom, Slayer, Kreator  Vader and Morbid Angel take the surgical knife and carefully remove all the best elements put them in an Angell Ripper (vocalist's god) mixer and there you have it perfect thrash metal like the old days. This album grabs u from the face and drags you out till there's nothing else to break! Killer riffs, powerful  drumming , bass that makes your balls shiver , aggression , aggression , aggression  I mean even the slower parts are deadly. I also loved the production, it's pretty clear and evil at the same time.  Nothing more to say those of you who love old school thrash/death you already know this band and will buy this album. The rest of you buy or die!
