Deicide – Legion (1992)

Legion is a dense and difficult listen, especially for old school death metal. Just take a look at the release date on this thing and you can truly see that Deicide were forging ahead with new levels of brutality. These days brutal death has been done a million times, but this must have taken heads off back in the day. Another cool thing about this is the unassuming artwork, which hints in no way shape or form at the chaos within. I prefer Once Upon The Cross (and the S/T tbh) but shit, this is brutal as fuck. Dry production, unforgiving music and vocals.
