DEICIDE (USA)
SECOND SYDNEY SHOW ANNOUNCED!
DEICIDE TO PERFORM LANDMARK ALBUM LEGION IN ITS ENTIRETY AT CROWBAR – SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6, 2027
Following the complete sell-out of their February 5th Sydney show in under a month, DEICIDE announce an extra Sydney performance dedicated to one of death metal's most revered albums.
The demand has been undeniable. After their February 5 2027 return to Sydney (After a two decade absence) show sold out in less than a month of going on sale, legendary Florida death metal pioneers DEICIDE have announced a second Sydney performance — and this time, they're bringing something truly special.
On Saturday February 6, 2027, DEICIDE will take over Crowbar for a very special performance of their landmark 1992 album LEGION, played in its entirety.
Originally released in 1992, LEGION remains one of the most celebrated, influential and uncompromising records in the history of extreme metal. A ferocious step forward from the band's self-titled debut, the album pushed DEICIDE's sound into even more savage and technically demanding territory, combining blistering guitar work, intricate arrangements, relentless blast beats and Glen Benton's unmistakable, venomous vocals.
Often hailed as a masterpiece of technical death metal, LEGION is an album that has only grown in stature with time. Its reputation among musicians, critics and death metal devotees is enormous, with its dizzying guitar work, punishing rhythmic complexity and sheer intensity continuing to inspire generations of extreme metal bands.
Tracks like Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon, Dead But Dreaming, Repent to Die and Trifixion remain defining moments in DEICIDE's catalogue, showcasing a band operating at an extraordinary level of musical aggression and precision.
LEGION wasn't simply another death metal album. It was a statement of intent — a record that helped establish the boundaries of what extreme metal could achieve, while simultaneously tearing those boundaries apart.
More than three decades after its release, the album remains as vicious, challenging and exhilarating as ever.
Now Australian fans will have the opportunity to experience the entire record brought to life on stage by the band that created it.
Formed in Tampa, Florida, in 1987 by vocalist/bassist Glen Benton and drummer Steve Asheim, DEICIDE have spent nearly four decades establishing themselves as one of the most important and uncompromising forces in death metal. With a catalogue spanning twelve studio albums, their influence on extreme music is undeniable.
Their return to Australia in 2027 marks their first visit since 2006, making these performances particularly significant for Australian fans who have waited more than two decades to witness the band's devastating live assault.
With the original Sydney show selling out in under a month, this newly announced LEGION performance offers a rare opportunity to witness one of death metal's defining albums performed from beginning to end.
One album. Every track. No compromises.
This is LEGION.

LEGION awaits.
Legion is captivating with it's energy, with it's evil, with Glen Benton's vocal outbursts, with it's technicality in songwriting and creativity. This is one album that you can never get sick of no matter how many times that you play it.”
METAL BITE
Starting out with a few moment to remind everyone that goats = Satan, the listener is given about 40 seconds to wonder to themselves what the hell is going on. When Satan Spawn starts in, all hell breaks loose.

The speed, intensity, hatred, and downright technical skill make Legion
an evolved, yet akin version to their self-titled debut, and arguably a classic. This isDeicide
after their full evolution to Death Metal, yet before their string of average to below average albums predatingThe Stench of Redemption.
This is a fine piece of brutality, and a staple to any proud Floridian’s Death Metal collection.
