8th of April 2009 (13:26) - LEGION OF THE DAMNED BACK FROM TOURING

Finally found some time to update our website. Last week we returned from a very succesful tour with Amon Amarth, Obituary and Keep of kalessin. Legion of the damned had a BLAST and hereby want to thank everybody who showed up at the concerts. Also big hello and thanks goes out to the amazing crew, Tom and Mike for doing the merchandise and everybody else behind the scenes. It was SUPER!

Now the summerfestivals are coming and we can't wait to play them, hopefully we will all see you again there.

Also I would like to mention that we are very sorry for the cancelled signingsession in Linz, Austria. In Linz we heard there were hundreds of people still infront of the Saturn store, but there was no Legion of the damned. We heard days before the tour even started that this signingsession was cancelled because the Saturn store thought that there will be to many people and so intefer with the remaining customers that would not come for Legion of the damned. We are very sorry for this.

30th of March 2009 (16:00) - KREATOR VS LOTD ON METALHAMMER

7th of March 2009 (14:57) - HAMBURG SHOW FUCKED UP!!!

We would like to apologize for the half show we played yesterday at the Grosse Freiheit in Hamburg. Something went wrong with the power of the club where everything failed to work. During Obituary they switched this power, so Amon Amarth and Obituary could play their entire set.

Because of a curefew of 22.00 we were not able to restore the power on time so that Legion of the damned could finish the set afterall! This was all not in our hands nor our fault.

We also find it very sad that people got tickets which said 19.00, while Legion of the damned already started at 18.15. I recommend everybody to check out the dates/times on our website and NOT on the ticket, the times on our website are correct!!!

Here some last news before we are leaving next week for the Full of Hate festival tour, February 14th we played a very succesful show at the FME in Helsinki, we would like to thank everybody who showed up and gave us great support.

We are also very happy that our fans voted our new album "Cult of the dead" on position 15 as best album of the year 2008 in th German Rock Hard Magazine - this was a really nice surprise for us. Same that our new album was entering the Rock Hard readers charts on position number 3!! and in Legacy Magazine on position number 2!! - Absolute KILLER!

We would also like to show you the killer "Full of Hate" t-shirt of Legion of the damned that we will be selling on the tour only. They are limited and sold out means SOLD OUT! So if you can, catch one before they are out of stock!

Please find following the times when we have to enter the stage at the "Full of hate" festivals, so you'll be on time to catch a serious neck injury.

28th of April 2008 (10:50)

Hey boys & girls. Another quick update, although besides having no electrcity at all in this house this morning, nothing new or exciting is happening. Our photoshoot for the upcoming album was rescheduled to mid May, so still working hard on several aspects of the album. We are also really looking forward to play Spain/Martohell and Metalcamp as well as Hellfest. We will be bringing our camera, so we will shoot some great stuff and put it online here on our website. Also we would like to thank everyone who filled in the above survey so far and send us great comments. We noticed that alot of dutch thrashers ask us when we will be playing holland again, not so sure about when etc..but we definitely want to do a couple of shows next year in Holland as well, but its actually to early to judge about it right now.

I am also working hard on the upcoming bonus DVD, this time we won't put alot on the DVD, but we try to do something special instead, so I am currently working on a great menu in 3D. I will also be shooting another video for our Thrash-buddies MELTDOWN that are currently in studio with Andy Classen, they recently got signed to NuclearBlast, so everything going relaxing and cool, the plan is that I will shoot their video on May 13th. And speaking of the rest of the guys?? I guess Harold is testing some new icecreams and Erik stopped smoking so he probably got wasted last weekend on twice as much beers ;). Richard? He went to see a Vader show on saturday!!

17th of April 2008 (09:56)

I updated the Discography page with some more reviews and reactions plus added some photos to the gallery, there will be more photos soon, but its just alot of work, so have patience. There are also new threads posted to our forum so go ahead and spam us with your thoughts, comments, negativity and ideas hehe.

Maurice - On behalf of Legion of the damned

17th of April 2008 (08:32)

Harold here for a change. I hereby want to thank Marko Sirac and the guys from Schecter to get me endorsed, I can't wait to get my new basses and proudly abuse them. Thanks a million!

Harold - On behalf of Legion of the damned

16th of April 2008 (18:22)

Ofcourse this guy totally rules! Sad enough we haven't seen him anymore since the tattoo wasn't done plus we had to put our autographs on his chest in order for him to get those tattoo'ed.

Maurice - On behalf of Legion of the damned

16th of April 2008 (15:32)

I worked my ass of last night and this morning to fix the little problems on the new website, hopefully everything is fixed. Heard that Firefox may give you some troubles viewing the site...well what can I say, ignore Firefox and get yourself another browser hehe. We will also have some new threads on the forum soon, so start signing up. We also added a brand new t-shirt, only available through EMP in Germany, exclusively!

A nice guy by the name of Oliver Metzer wrote us to Myspace and told us he got himself a "Sons of the jackal" tattoo, so ofcourse we couldn't wait to see it. So I wanna share that view with you guys right here:

Thanks Oliver for sending it to us. If anyone else has something great related to Legion of the damned, like having 10 posters in your room or walking around with your moms broom on your head to imitate Richard, send those pictures in and we will put them on the site.

Maurice - On behalf of Legion of the damned

15th of April 2008 (16:47)

Welcome to the brand new, fresh styled, Legion of the damned website. We wanted it to be more simple and only carrying the neccesary infos for you. Besides that we will also frequently update the video page with exclusive and rare videos from the band's own collection. These video's you won't find anywhere else, not on our DVD's nor on YouTube or Myspace We will also try to give you a more precise information of our next shows, that includes which stage and what time exactly.

As you will also immediately notice is that we have left out the guestbook, but for that we want you to register the forum instead, you can not only leave us a message there, but also talk/chat with other Legion of the damned fans. On top of that those who are registered are always making a chance on winning free tickets to our shows, signed merchandise like cd's and cards and meet & greets, so take that oppertunity and sign in!

This website is updated and build by ourselves, this means feel free to make a forum thread about other ideas or new ideas of how we can make this website more pleasureable for you, if you have any suggestions for our video's then let us know or if you wish to see something special, perhaps we can fullfill your wishes. We also finally made a complete merchandise page with all the merchandise. In the biography section there is also a detailed time table of the band, so you can see how we kept ourselves busy before being Legion of the damned.

Other than that we are still working hard on the new album. We will be entering the Stage one studio again first 3 weeks of September 2008. Still bloody lots of work to do. We have seen one of the album cover concepts and were absolutely stunned. Maybe in a couple of months when all is decided upon we can announce both the album cover and title to the public.
