Legion Of The Damned - Slaves Of The Shadow Realm

6.0

Yeah, the hooks are good and the drumming is phenomenal, but on the whole there's nothing particularly engaging about this record; and one can't help but feeling it's something we have already heard a trillion times before.

Highlights

- Some dungeoun synths here and there do make the difference at certain points.

- As I said, the drumming is schizophrenic in execution. Love it.

- The cover art matches the music perfectly and is a hell of a picture.

Lowlights

- The song structures are extremely predictable and obvious.

- The lyrics repeat the same motifs again and again, and again.

- Some tracks seem unpurposefully out of rhythm.

Standouts

- Charnel Confession

- Slaves Of The Southern Cross

- Priest Hunt
