Metal veterans LEGIONS OF DOOM are preparing to bring their powerful live sound to record with a new album scheduled for release in 2027. The album was recorded earlier this year at KK’s Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, during the band’s sold-out U.K. and Ireland tour alongside CROWBAR and SILVERBURN.
“Legions Of Doom Live: Low N Slow In The UK” is set to arrive in March 2027 via Tee Pee Records. The release pays tribute to the band’s original material, the legacy of THE SKULL, and the musical spirit of the late Eric Wagner, the legendary frontman of TROUBLE and THE SKULL.
Formed out of THE SKULL and driven by the desire to keep the music of its beloved founder alive, LEGIONS OF DOOM have gradually forged an identity of their own. The band brings together musicians with deep roots in the doom metal scene, including former and current members of TROUBLE, THE SKULL, SAINT VITUS, PENTAGRAM, LEADFOOT, and CORROSION OF CONFORMITY.
The band’s origins can be traced back to an effort to continue THE SKULL’s musical legacy. Following Eric Wagner’s passing in 2021, bassist Ron Holzner and guitarist Lothar Keller came across material on his computer labelled “New Skull Record”, containing lyrics and unfinished ideas intended for the band’s third album. With the blessing of Wagner’s family, the two musicians set out to complete the material and put together the lineup that would eventually become LEGIONS OF DOOM.
Their 2024 debut album, “The Skull 3”, also released through Tee Pee Records, featured previously recorded vocals by Wagner on the track “Heaven”. With Karl Agell and original SAINT VITUS frontman Scott Reagers sharing vocal duties, the album paid tribute to Wagner’s creative legacy while opening a new chapter for the musicians involved.
Now, LEGIONS OF DOOM are ready to capture this journey in a live setting. Scheduled for release in late March 2027, “Legions Of Doom Live: Low N Slow In The UK” was recorded at KK’s Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, the well-known venue owned and operated by former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing. Documenting a sold-out performance, the album features a mix of LEGIONS OF DOOM songs, selected THE SKULL classics, and a few unexpected surprises.
One of the album’s highlights is a cover of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s “Dance Of The Dead”, taking listeners back to Agell’s time as the band’s frontman during the “Blind” era. The recording features the current touring lineup, with Karl Agell on vocals, Ron Holzner on bass, Lothar Keller and Scott Little on guitars, and Chad Walls on drums.
