Has a few good songs, production is awful. Was a rel let down after the band's debut. Revered as cult now.. but just for hype.

It's one of the best classic death metal albums of all time and my personal favorite. Deicide kinda took a change in direction after this album and in my opinion their golden age ended. But they made two masterpieces with this and their self titled album.

The second album of one of the best death-metal bands. This is already a classic! 1010

The best albums of the group are their debut and Legion.
The quintessence of malice and evil in the Death Metal genre! For many years, the record has been in the collection and is auditioned regularly!

DEICIDE's second album was a bit different. A different sound, fewer roars in the background, but in principle nothing has been shredded - this is the same vicious and predatory classical children, such death-metal that I have heard so far only in the performance of DEICIDE. All the good that is present at the debut takes place here. It is amazing how mnemi were divided in assessing the creative work of this team! I am sure that the blame for the satanic riot of musicians. This, of course, pushes away, but the tree-stick, it should not overshadow the mind! Here, after all, it is not image that is estimated, but music. Assertions that the admiration of the band’s music is no more than an example of bad taste, that there is no content in this music, and the musicians themselves simply cannot play - JUST FUNNY! This absolutely unreasonable swearing - this is an example of bad taste! Guys, whether your ears are crammed with something, or you are obsessed with the strongest holy-Christian complex of confidence that Satanists simply cannot do anything good! The strongest melodies (especially the first theme), easily remembered, instruments play quite technically. It is not clear how all this can not hear? In short, the fact is: "Legion" is the strongest, classic album, certainly one of the best in death-metal.

Legion is the second album from Deicide, the same style like the first one. This is one of the death metal classics and if you like this genre you must have this.

Sound: Deicide's 1992 album "Legion" is an essential in early death metal albums. Early complex, death metal riffs complement the album well creating ...

Benton knows how to provoke and in"legion"do it much more than their first album.I give this album 4 stars cause the debut was top notch!
Pierre T. - 30/Mar/2014
Deicide, groupe phare du Death Metal, ce deuxième album tout aussi bon que le premier, enfonce le clou encore plus profond grâce à des riffs indestructibles, une batterie impressionnante et les growls sans égale de Benton. Ce 2ème CD impose Deicide comme maître de DM aux cotés de Morbid Angel, Death ou Immolation. A acheter sans aucun doute.
