With the New Jersey quintet LEGION we are proud to present a new signing on Pure Steel Records. Classical, melodic Heavy Metal, deeply rooted in the American Steel of the 80s, is presented here. Already in 2005 the self released debut „Shadow Of The King“ has been unleashed, where they gained their first success with. One year later it has been re-released through Majestic Rock Records. After a long break the second album „War Beast“ is ready. Driven by majestic leads, energetic high pitched screams from the new singer Ralph Gibbons and varied song writing LEGION offer everything an aficionado of American Steel adore…
This disc is part of an ongoing series of re-issues of the Lp catalog of the CRI (Composer's Recordings Inc.) label. These important documents of 20th c. compositions have been out of print since the advent of the CD, but have now been transferred to digital files from the original master tapes in order to make them available once again.
The sound of true 80's traditional and heavy metal bands make up the sound of Battle Beast. This is some of the best heavy metal I've heard the entire year so far and I feel the album has a spot in all of your collections. This is an album to remember and to talk about for a long time. Horns up to Battle Beast and METAL FOREVER!!!!
Headless Beast from Ulm are one of those acts that bring here as a first album one hell of an ambitious work on the market and without a label in the background. Starting from the pretty Markus Vesper cover with the band mascot, the headless horseman who really crystal clear and beautiful massive production of Vagelis Maranis (SUICIDAL ANGELS, ARRYAN PATH SAIDIAN, NOCTE OBDUCTA, WINTER'SVERGE) on the well-thought songs were really hard to be worked and created a more than impressive album that is absolutely competitive.
