LEGION OF THE DAMNED: Finnish Dates Announced

November 28, 2007

Dutch thrashers LEGION OF THE DAMNED have announced the following dates in Finland:

Feb. 06 - Kuopio, Finland - Henry's Pub
Feb. 07 - Jyväskylä, Finland - Lutakko
Feb. 08 - Tampere,, Finland - Hellä
Feb. 09 - Helsinki, Finland - Nightlife Rock

LEGION OF THE DAMNED has set a January 2008 release date for "Feel the Blade" (Massacre Records),a reissue of the the "Elegy for the Weak" CD originally released under the band's previous moniker OCCULT. The new version of the LP will contain two new songs that didn't appear on the original "Elegy for the Weak" album, a new cover and a bonus DVD.

Commented the band: "'Feel the Blade' comes from an album that OCCULT once released under the name 'Elegy for the Weak'. We as band strongly believe that this album belongs to the LEGION OF THE DAMNED category and since the album is hard to get we will re-release it. Of course there may always be people out there who were able to buy an 'Elegy for the Weak' copy for 10 or 15 euros, but we put so much effort into this new release that even if you own a copy of the 'Elegy for the Weak' album, this is still worth buying. It will not only have the 'Elegy for the Weak' recording remastered but also two new songs and a cover song, plus a 127-minute-long bonus DVD.

"This CD will come in three versions. One normal jewel-case version, one limited digipack version (with DVD) and one exclusive for Amazon made version DVD format with six free cards and sticker. The DVD will also have an embossed cover. This last version will only come in 1,000 pieces and only available through Amazon worldwide."

A video interview with LEGION OF THE DAMNED conducted by "Angel of Metal" at this year's Bloodstock Open Air festival, which took place August 16-18 at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, England, can be viewed below.

LEGION OF THE DAMNED's "Sons of the Jackal" album entered the German national album chart at position No. 54 back in January. The follow-up to 2006's "Malevolent Rapture" was recorded at Stage One studio in Bühne, Germany with producer Andy Classen.
