New York City based Viking Metallers LAST LEGION have released their second full-length album “Muspelheim” in conjuction with hard rock/metal label Gravel Entertainment.  “Muspelheim” is available now on Compact Disc and all major digital music platforms.  Coinciding with the release, the band has also shared a music video for the song “God Ov Chaos,” directed by Tom Flynn (10 Years, Body Count, Otherwise).  



Merging massive dueling guitars and epic lyrics infused with Norse mythology, LAST LEGION melds furious melodic riffs with the primal aggression of Scandinavian-influenced Death Metal.  Their 2013 debut “Edge of the World” established the band as a must-hear for fans of the Melodic Death Metal and Viking Metal genres.  Their long-awaited follow-up is a natural continuation, and displays the band’s growing musicianship and songwriting skills.  “Muspelheim” was produced/mixed/mastered by Aady Pandit (Ambient Death, Jotunheim).  Singer Jason Ayala says, “We are always trying to top ourselves, so I have to believe that our magnum opus is yet to come.  However, I will say that this album is a massive step forward, and we are incredibly proud of what we have created.”  

Last Legion is currently performing select dates in the Northeastern, U.S.  They are planning to tour in support of the album later this summer.  

I found out Riot (or Riot V, depending on your perspective) drops a new album this spring. I loved Unleash the Fire; we'll see how this one turns out.

Gruesome have a new one coming out in 2018! No way I'm not getting that when it comes out.

I hear Morfin are working on new material as well. Hopefully the album drops before 2018 ends.

Indeed it is. The band claims it is comparable to Thundersteel. A hybrid of that and Unleash the Fire would be fantastic.

Atheist is coming out with a new album this year.

I just found out Hemotoxin will release their third full length album, Restructure the Molded Mind, this summer.

Leather Leone of Chastain releases her second solo album later this month.

I found out Mass Infection have a new album out.

I'm probably the only person on this board who listens to them, but it should be a great album!
