"[Eight] years and three albums into their career, Legion Within are a steadily rising force in the arena of modern music, complete with the KMFDM seal of approval." ~ ReGen Magazine.
Legion Within’s fourth album, Mouth of Madness, was released Summer 2009 thru KMFDM Records. Their first formal release with KMFDM Records, Mouth of Madness displays Legion Within as a mature band who have blended darkwave and industrial into their own distinctive genre of dark rock.
A dark mosaic of musical genres and styles, Mouth of Madness’ songs range from romance, escapism and tragedy to tongue-in-cheek dark humor and flights of sadistic fancy.
Legion Within’s musical evolution has been natural, yet immense. Debut album Ayumi, which was called, “beautiful gothic atmospheres with an airy ethereal feel” (Outburn Magazine), segued into ‘04’s goth-rock-akin-to-The Chameleons-AEONS. As a drastic change in America’s political climate had been boiling underneath, so had a nearly visceral response from key band members Wilson, Cole and Butler. This expression was showcased in ‘07’s the empty men, with tracks titled “Fascisti”, “Rise” and “Wrath of the Empty Men”.
Bouncing back from the industrial political-angst of 07’s the empty men, Mouth of Madness embraces the current political and emotional climate with a firm hand. Wilson calls it, “Courageous Nihilism. From day one we are all doomed. But that's just the way it is, we deal with it.”

Review and Album of the Month at Gothtronic, by DJ TekNoir.
Legion Within's debut album Ayumi garnered them praise including "[they] create beautiful gothic atmospheres with an airy ethereal feel" (Outburn) and "If you've been longing for gothic rock in the classic style, Legion Within will satisfy your craving" (Industrial Nation).
Legion Within's much anticipated follow-up album AEONS has built upon their "old world ambience" with the creepy carnival sound of "Dream Carny" and industrial weight of KMFDM's "Cover Me" remix.
It's noir, it's slippery and histrionic, and utterly captivating.
~ Mick Mercer, Gothic Rock Black Book & Hex Files
This is a topband and an absolute discovery that let's us hear that gothic rock can still be alive and kicking.
~ DJ TekNoir, rates 9 from 1-10
Seattle's Legion Within may well be among the last of a dying breed: an honest-to-goodness Gothic Rock band...[Legion Within] shows that there are still some gems to be found in that almost-forgotten genre.

I was at the Pomona show(i was right there when jailbait broke William's ankle >_<) it was certainly interesting to watch you hopping around on one foot, but an amazing show nonetheless.
