Chapter 1,Line Up:

This is the eternal Bloody line-up from LEGION:

(On this picture:)From the left to the right;

Raymond Arndtz(baal)/Ron Keulers/Pascal Beastings(legionsupreme)/Bram Groothuysen/

Chapter 2,History:

The history of these four persons go's back in the time of '89 when they all started playing in their first band.Raymond and Ron had a band in which they played several covers songs from others.At one day they asked a new vocalist(pascal) to join this band and ofcourse he did.They we're called by the name of Filthy Agression.When this band stopped playing,ray/ron and pascal wanted to go on,but they lost contact.Everyone went their own way,in that time different line-up's and different bands we're formed.After almost 2 years this three persons met again and they formed a new band which was called then Positive Reaction.They played a sort of power/speed/thrash metal,but also this band couldn't carrie on,so it ended the same as the past ones.Meanwhile bram was started playing in some bands for the first time,sometimes with a guitar other times with a bass.He ended up with a band what was called Lords of Fire,where he played thrash metal.Pascal was still searching for a new band to play a kind of black metal,together with raymond.After lots of searching,Pascal found a new bassplayer in the name of Fabian Wetzels(Pascal knew him from before when he played with him in a band called Paranoid),and so they only needed to look for a man behind the drums.Ron couldn't be found,so first they started looking for a new rehearsal room,and when they found it an old friend from the past came along.His name;Jos Nievelstein.He played drums before and so we asked him to join us.All with the same attitude to play black metal with a own style in it. When they thought well enough about a bandname and how to play their music Ray came with thee infernal name LEGION.And so a new band was born...

Chapter 3,Present: Episode 1;

The exact date that Legion took place upon this earth is unknown,but one thing is sure,it was at the end of december '94.The very first rehearsal was on 28 jan '95.Then they didn't exactly know how the music would sound like.Pascal and also Raymond listened much kinds of black metal,while Jos and Fabian had a different taste that went from Iron Maiden to D.r.i..So it was hard to give Legion a own style,but after a few rehearsals,it turned to the right direction and their music became more agressive and brutal.The lyrical parts handled about satanism and many other occult things.The music was fast,slow and had also melodic parts in it.After 6 months of rehearsing,they played their first live gig.They knew after their first live performance that they had to learn more,and so they practiced further.After almost a year of existance they went into a studio to record their debut demo."ARMAGEDDON" was recorded in the tercel studio at Voerendaal, it was a half hour lasting tape with 4 songs and a intro on it.The demo was recorded and mixed in 2 fucking days on 29 and 30th of july '95.Almost 150 copy's we're sold and also tapes went to zines,labels and friends.Armageddon recieved well by some and was hated by some others. Well the demo went his way and Legion was ready to do many live gigs.So gigs we're organised in Limburg.They started with a few local bands(Fey,Bifrost)and they went on with Nightmare on Helmstreet and Souls of the Departed.Then came the bigger ones like the danish band Denial Of God.During this gig the first thing go's wrong;the bassplayer Fabian got totally drunk on stage,played very bad and after that he went backstage to steal promotional stuff from Denial Of God.After this kind of betrayel,Legion kicked him out.Again they went searching for a new bassplayer and after one month they found a new replacement.Nico Pieters a 29 year old bassplayer who played in several bands before,but couldn't find the right band.So again they started to rehearse with the new flesh and then picked it up where they left by doing gigs.One of those was as opening act for Mysticum,Gehenna and Marduk.After playing there,they we're backstage with Gehenna and then trhrowed out by the manager of Gehenna,because Legion made to much noise backstage???!Thanx Gehenna for you enormous ego.(we hate you weaklings).The final gig was in Legion's own pub,called Cretz&Co along with Sadist from Italy.This was one of the best live gigs from Legion,the guys from Sadist we're great and they made a lot of fun together.Then the circle turned and there we're more problems to come...

-The last Episode;

When the year changed it's number into '97,there we're plans to go into a studio again to make a full-length cd.It was planned somewhere in april of that year,and when the serious rehearsals started for this to take place,Jos got into deep fuckin shit.In feb'97 he was accused for molesting and abuse(i won't go in for further details)and so he went to jail and was convicted for almost 2 years.It was a total knock out for Legion when this happened and like a flash everything was gone.Legion had to cancel the studio and they all we're furious and didn't know how to go on.In 2 months they found some guys to give it a try out and to be a replacement of Jos.3 persons couldn't forfill Legion's wishes and therefore the problems within the band went worser everyday.Several months past the scene when Beastings found the present adress from Ron Keulers,the guy whom they lost contact with a few years ago.Pascal asked him and without thinking any sec he said yes.He also knew someone who played keyboard/synthesizer and they invited him too.The sound was to pretty and less agressive and so they went on without stupid keyboard sounds(Beastings always hated that and still does).Then suddenly Nico got in many arguments with Raymond about some stupid things and there was no place left for pathetic conversations,so we throwed him out,cause now was the time to bring in a new fresh band without problems.In less then one month Bram called Pascal,saying that he left Lords Of Fire.Legion tried him out on bass and the first couple of rehearsals went perfect.He was a very quick learner and brought new motivation with him.I am convinced that this will be a very strong line-up who has a lot of knowledge and experience.The future plans will be lots of gigs anywhere they possible can and to make one day finally their debut cd...
