This band is mis-named. They should have called themselves "Hella-Boring", because that's what this album is. I suppose they're going for the title of "heaviest death metal band", and in that they somewhat succeed -- the production is powerful and the songs are heavy. But in order to achieve this, they've eschewed anything that could make this album interesting or memorable. Nearly all of the riffs are mid-paced, simplistic chugga-chugga death metal, repeated ad nauseum. I couldn't detect any kind of structure to their songs, because each riff was just as generic as the last. And the instrumentation doesn't help either -- it's standard death metal guitars with a generic death metal vocalist grunting along.
Their MySpace page has two songs from their 2008 offering, Darkness. Those songs are a lot better than these, if only because of the guitar solos and the addition of some dynamics. Legacy can be safely skipped by all death metal fans.
