1. Black/Death Metal Group
2. Early 90's Hip-Hop Crew
1. The LEGION's march started back in 1999 with the purpose to bring black plague, death and violence to this world. In early 2000 the demo "Bloodaeons" was recorded. This four-track blasterpiece of cold and grim black metal gained very good response when released later the same year.
In the year 2002 The LEGION entered Los Angered Recording in Gothenburg. Four new songs were recorded which resulted in a 7" vinyl / MCD entitled "Awakened Fury". This release made Listenable Rec. (Fr) interested in the band and a three album deal was inked.
The LEGION went off to famous Abyss Studios in late June 2003 to record their debut album "Unseen to Creation" together with producer Peter Tägtgren. In October the same year "Unseen…" was released on CD and on a limited, hand numbered gatefold vinyl in 500 copies.
The march continues with a European tour in 2004 and new material is being written for the second opus. During the year 2005 the follow-up to "Unseen…" is recorded, partly in the bands own studio Art Decay and partly in Endarker studio who is owned by Marduk bassist Magnus "Devo" Andersson. The new album is entitled "Revocation" and is set for release in late February 2006.
The LEGION's line-up has changed a few times during the years and today the horde consists of the three founding members Emil Drautinovic (drums), David Svartz (guitar) and Rikard Kottelin (guitar). Lately a new vocalist has been recruited, called Kjetil Hektoen (also in Enthral and Crest of Darkness). The bass is handled by session member Kristoffer Andersson of Sargatanas Reign.
2. Early 90's Bronx hip hop crew consisting of Cee-Low, Molecules, and Chucky Smash. Closely affiliated with Native Tongues group Black Sheep and DITC producer Showbiz. They released one album in 1994.
Carnal harvest
The Legion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Invisibly to the eyes of ours, crowned with goat horns, majestic
Wielding apocalypses to come
The piles of dead grow taller and taller under a sickening sky white with light
The urging lust for human executions increases steadily with every kill
Faith choked deep within the chambers of the evil in man
Destined to be devoured by the sea of dust. to be swept off from the face of the earth
The rabid eye controls the mind and body. industrial man purge, carnal harvest
Madness having man in a fierce grip. continents war torn and ridden with plague
The piles of dead grow taller and taller under a sickening sky white with light
Kneel before the terror incarnate!
Invisibly to the eyes of ours, crowned in goat horns, majestic
Wielding apocalypses to come.
The lyrics of The Legion’s song “Carnal Harvest” present a complex and disturbing view of humanity’s capacity for evil. The song describes a figure that is crowned with goat horns, wielding “apocalypses to come,” and inspiring an “urging lust for human executions” that grows stronger with every kill. This seemingly supernatural being controls the minds and bodies of industrialized humanity as they engage in a “carnal harvest” of human lives. The imagery in the song is haunting, with the piles of dead growing taller and taller under a sickening sky white with light.
The overarching message of the song is clear – humanity is capable of incredible violence and evil, with the industrialized world serving as an enabler for this darker side of human nature. The use of phrases like “faith choked deep within the chambers of the evil in man” and “madness having man in a fierce grip” suggest that even those who differentiate themselves from this terrifying figure are not immune to its influence. The use of language such as “rabid eye” and “plague” evoke scenes of devastation and hopelessness, leaving the listener with a feeling of unease and discomfort.
Overall, “Carnal Harvest” serves as a warning about the darker side of the human psyche and the consequences of unchecked aggression and violence. The Legion’s ability to create such a vivid and unsettling picture is a testament to their skill as musicians and lyricists.
