The Legion: A Bliss to Suffer

The most likely highlight of this band is probably the drummer; Emil Dragutinovic used to bash skins for the legendary Marduk. If you listen to all of TL's releases, you'd know the standard. However, it's not fair to credit this band purely on the drummer per se, TL has been one of the newer cohort of black metal's better offerings in terms of musicianship & production (if you are kvlt & troo, you'd disagree with me but music is music, culture is part of music, it's not exclusive...).

A Bliss to Suffer continues TL's signature offerings where Revocation left off but fans would feel the absence of some significant BM assault. The materials here are rather laid back but the riffs & solos continue to be one of the better manifestations for this music genre. Btw, the string section of this band embraces Ibanez...
