The LEGION slays again! Dutch thrash veterans LEGION OF THE DAMNED have once again entered
into an alliance with the devouring depths of black and death metal and unleash another angry
beast, The Poison Chalice , on May 26, 2023 via Napalm Records. The shredding monster delivers the
most delicious pitch-black brew and tortures dark souls into demonic underworlds.

The Poison Chalice comes to life by spreading its eerily beautiful wings within the first few seconds,
then dives headfirst into a hellishly furious storm before the second song "Contamination" absolutely
kills. In classic LEGION OF THE DAMNED manner, there is no escape as the track relentlessly drives
into the abyss.
The album spreads brutal and ice cold thrash soundscapes through relentless attacking drums and
incredible guitar harmonies from both lead guitarists, underlined by angry bass lines. Infectious
thrash treasures such as “Progressive Destructor”, and the almost seven-minute berserk “Behold The
Beyond” break necks with hammering guitar riffs and bloody double bass infernos. “Beheading of
The Godhead” delivers what the song title promises, before the past 48 minutes of hate closes with a
final deep gulp from “The Poison Chalice” - leaving no one behind.
Together with producer Erwin Hermsen, the band has closed the gates of the underworld in
Toneshed Studio and demonstrates that they remain the unchallenged masters of brute and
unrelenting death-thrash metal in 2023!
