Just in time for the release of their highly anticipated upcoming album, 'The Poison Chalice', Dutch death thrashers LEGION OF THE DAMNED unleash their third brutally infectious single, “Contamination”, together with a hauntingly oppressive official music video, produced by frontman Maurice Swinkels himself! The new full-length, 'The Poison Chalice', drops tomorrow, June 9, 2023 via Napalm Records.

“Contamination” takes no prisoners – the track attacks mercilessly and kills everything in its path. With this release, the band once again proves that they are at the top of the scene. As shown during the live premiere of the song at Rock Hard festival, fans can look forward to their furious sets at the biggest metal festivals this summer, such as Wacken, Summer Breeze and Graspop.

LEGION OF THE DAMNED on “Contamination”:

“'Contamination' deals with the appearance of a new plague, a manifestation of one of the horsemen of the apocalypse. A rapidly spreading, horribly lethal disease causes dilemmas and ruthless restrictions. Mass death occurs and societies collapse, deprived from their commodities. The title for this song was already floating around for previous albums, but never made it, so it was not directly inspired by the Corona pandemic. It is fair to assume more and perhaps more gruesome plagues will come and cause havoc on mankind. Remember the mass death during the ages of the black plague.”

The Netherland's finest has returned after a three year stand still. But now that they are back what may you expect from this Legion of the Damned per say? Nothing but pure thrash metal with the edginess of death! Legion of the Damned’s seven year career has seen better days but now the past is far behind them the band is moved on to see the light or in their case the darkness of light if there is such a thing….

Anyway Legion of the Damned’s latest “Descent into Chaos” is just as it says “chaos” that descents right back to where it all began oh so long ago. This album is chalk full of thrash forgivable riffs with over the top vocal chords that keeps the music fresh after each and every song sung. "War Is In My Blood", "Killzone”, and "The Hand Of Darkness" is the golden era of what Slayer and Sodom once were known for except these guys have taken it to a whole another level.

As such “Descent into Chaos" has become an album considerably real enough for Legion of the Damned to declare fit. The drum work is different but some added tricks reveal an approach that's more unique. Whereas the guitar sound is sharper much heavier than ever before nailing the sound perfectly well with each and every riff foretold. Legion of the Damned get it right from the start.
