The technical level is quite low, and the drumming is rather monotonous without any particularly interesting exploits. If you want to listen to the top of the genre, go back to the good old Carcass. But if you want to laugh your head off, the bestial Metal of our 4 Italians will make you happy.

Skills are certainly there, ideas are lacking, but it takes time to develop them optimally. Vocal performance lacking grit and strength from the American Mark Ferreira; the dual vocal approach is not quite right.

"This album will surely fuel other controversies about the band’s compositional health... it continues to present good, indeed, very good ideas only to then fall almost into the pathetic."

The new singer... is light years away from Legion's characteristic voice, which doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. This 'Plague Angel' is monotonous, devoid of real ideas, and above all, it seems like a copy and paste of old tracks.
