Legion Of The Damned

Legion Of The Damned release third single, 'Contamination'

Death thrashers Legion Of The Damned's new album, 'The Poison Chalice', is out tomorrow, June 9, 2023, via Napalm Records.

Just in time for the release of their highly anticipated upcoming album LOTD unleash their third brutally infectious single, 'Contamination', together with a hauntingly oppressive official music video, produced by frontman Maurice Swinkels himself.

'Contamination' takes no prisoners – the track attacks mercilessly and kills everything in its path. With this release, the band once again proves that they are at the top of the scene. As shown during the live premiere of the song at Rock Hard festival, fans can look forward to their furious sets at the biggest metal festivals this summer, such as Wacken, Summer Breeze and Graspop.

The band commented on the new single:
"'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."
