LEGION OF THE DAMNED release video third single, “Contamination”

New album, The Poison Chalice, out today

09-06-2023

Dutch death thrashers LEGION OF THE DAMNED release their third single, “Contamination”, together with an official music video, produced by frontman Maurice Swinkels. The new full-length, The Poison Chalice, dropped via Napalm Records.

Watch “Contamination” below.

LEGION OF THE DAMNED on “Contamination”:
“Contamination deals with the appearance of a new plague, a manifestation of one of the horsemen of the apocalypse. A rapidly spreading, horribly lethal disease causes dilemmas and ruthless restrictions. Mass death occurs and societies collapse, deprived from their commodities. The title for this song was already floating around for previous albums, but never made it, so it was not directly inspired by the Corona pandemic. It is fair to assume more and perhaps more gruesome plagues will come and cause havoc on mankind. Remember the mass death during the ages of the black plague.”
