Time of Sabbath

One of the more underrated Black Legions band was made of several important and key figures in the French Black Legions scene; Lord Beleth'Rim (voice, guitar), Lord Aäkon Këëtrëh (guitar), Vordb Dréagvor Uëzéërb (bass) and A Dark Soul (drums). For any LLN elitist this is the closest to being a dream team lineup considering that you have the masterminds of such bands like; Amaka Hahina, Moëvöt, Belketre, Aäkon Këëtrëh, Vermeth and so on. Judging from the first song 'March Of The Black Assemblies' it sounds like something straight from an Amaka Hahina demo. The vocal delivery is top notch and resembles something like a snake. I would say that it all sounds a lot like Vermeth but everything is sped up a bit more. A different, slightly louder mix of this demo made it on to the Black Legions Metal split with Vlad Tepes.

I would say that 'Flame Of Hate', 'Bloody Tears' and 'Time Of Sabbath' are the standout tracks on an essential black metal release and one of, if not the best Les Legions Noires release, at least in my opinion. My only gripe is they didn't make it longer and I wish they would reunite. In a way the band has continued under the Vermeth (also highly recommended) name since it's practically a solo project for Beleth'Rim so it isn't all gone.
