1436 - Savatage Legions 1987

In 1987 "Hall of the Mountain King" exploded amongst the metal community that helplessly watched it spread its killing force. Many ears ached and many heads were banged to the death. "Hall of the Mountain King" is dark, strong and imposing. Melody, harshness, power and passion co-exist harmonically on the verge of madness and artistic creation. Now, for the first time Savatage reveal their influences from classic and baroque music. "Legions" is a definitely pure metal killer. It starts with pulsating Johnny Lee Middleton bass, then drums and guitar solo with ominous Jon Oliva scream completed the beginning of this bone crusher.
