History

         Legion of the Damned first signed on with Karmageddon Media in 1992 as Occult in the Netherlands. Over the next thirteen years the band produced five records, their most popular being Prepare to Meet Thy Doom. Occult also gained two members and lost three to other bands during the thirteen year span. In 2005 Occult changed their name to Legion of the Damned when they signed with Massacre Records. With Massacre they produced six records. In 2011 they lost Twan Fleuren, this led to a short lapse in productivity in the band. They signed on with Napalm Records in 2014 to continue where they left off. Since then they have only produced a single record, Ravenous Plague, but they show no signs of stopping anytime soon. Legion of the Damned continues to tour not only Europe but the U.S. as well. If you're intereste in learning more about Legion of the Damned follow the link below to view their official website.
