Marrying the despair of goth with the clamor of industrial, Legion Within's fourth album offers an
enticing brand of politically-charged darkness. From the opening arpeggios of "Someone's Speaking" to the
distorted screeches of "Try to See Me," the band's industrial qualities immediately sets the music apart
from others in the darkwave echelon, adding a more corrosive edge that would remind more of the
electronically-minded style of Clan of Xymox and latter-day Ikon. Also adding to Legion Within's unique
style is William Wilson's remarkable voice...

Legion Within produced a smart, historically relevant album, paying homage to their musical ancestry and
building in new, interesting ways… Legion Within is clearly comfortable with a wide variety of styles from
Goth Rock and synth-punk to industrial and pure, old fashioned Goth-brand punk. Energetic, honest and
powerful, Mouth of Madness is probably the best Goth album to hit the market in the past decade.

Legion Within infuse their swirling, hypnotic and all-together catchy dance music with layers and layers
of haunting electronics and overt theatrics. In this regard, they come across more as Peter Murphy mixed
with early Cabaret Voltaire…

...a dark, atmospheric journey that is destined to put an end to your sunny day. Who needs the sun anyway,
when you've got great music to listen to? Mouth Of Madness is a solid effort from beginning to end and
would have made a suitable soundtrack for The Queen of the Damned. The overall feeling of the album is
deliciously gloomy, often bringing to mind the likes of Marilyn Manson (Antichrist Superstar/Mechanical
Animals stuff), Stabbing Westward and David Bowie's evil side. Mouth Of Madness definitely earns it's
place in the music collections of both the living and the undead.

Mouth of Madness by Legion Within, start off this month’s reviews with a BANG! This album features very
danceable tracks that promise to satisfy as well as a few more atmospheric cuts that enhance the mood.
The often complex compositions keep it dark and interesting... It’s hard to find a bad song on this album.
If you are looking for something to scratch that classic London After Midnight itch with something new,
you might find yourself listening to this album and really enjoying it.
