LEGION (Phil Vincent) – Resurrection (2012)
*
LEGION, the Melodic Hard Rock band assembled by vocalist Phil Vincent and Bob Catley’s guitarist Vince O’Regan have recorded three good albums (all presented here) so far.
The just released “Resurrection” is the fourth and final offering from the combo, as recently Vincent announced the end of the project due the lack of support from their label.
For those new to Legion, they blend classic Melodic Hard Rock sounds with some ballsy guitar-based Hard Rock.
The debut was really melodic with a style mixing the rocking side of Winger with Dokken melodies. The band hardened the output for the 2nd ‘Code Of Honour’, an approach even more increased in the third.
“Resurrection” is the perfect balance of all delivering some truly MHR goodies and a couple of strong hard rockers.
If you liked some of previous Legion CD’s you won’t be disappointed with “Resurrection”, if fact, it’s their best production.
A shame the band is no more together as with this album Legion has really tweaked all the knobs sounding tight as never. The songwriting is quite awesome and musically they rock big time.
Besides, “Resurrection” sports the more dynamic, bouncing production and mix of their entire discography resulting in a crisp collection of melodic yet powerful killer songs.
Very Recommended.
