Legion - Deicide

**

Legion, Deicide's second release, follows a more technical, clean approach, sounding a lot like modern-day Psycroptic and tech-death, rather than a raw death metal release. This works in its favour, because in all honesty, Deicide's work is mediocre, and were it not for the riffs and guitarwork, they wouldn't have anywhere near as much exposure as they do. Benton sounds atrocious, utilising no proper death growls or squeals, instead resorting to a very low-pitched shouting, which makes every moment when his voice is inaudible a memorable moment. Most of the instrumentalists on this album are throwaway, and in the end, with the exception of the Hoffman brothers, who boldly churn out riff after riff overlapped with intricate solos, nothing about this album is even remotely interesting, and unless you can pick this up for a low price, stay away from Legion at all costs.
