nofatclips 2nd listen: everything in this record is top notch, the sound, the songs, the performance. Can't get enough of it!

1st listen: I knew I needed this in my life as soon as Captive started playing while I was listening to the record label sampler! Favorite track: Cryptid.

Corrèze the deads Si vous avez raté toute la période new wave et post punk de la fin des 70 et début 80, cet album est fait pour vous. On y retrouve tous les éléments qui en ont fait le succès et bien plus encore. Car Legend n'est pas un groupe passéiste, et son rock electro n'est pas du genre à prendre la poussière. En plus, avec un chanteur de cette trempe, ce Midnight champion prend une dimension intemporelle. Un album étalon ! Favorite track: Captive.

Henrik Selin Another great album from Icelandic Legend. A super nice hybrid of rock and electro. Krummi's voice is one of the best in the genre today. Perhaps not as direct as their debut album but ths is an album that truly grows on you. Favorite track: Captive.

about

Five years after Icelandic electronic-rock duo LEGEND stunned with their debut Fearless, Krummi Bjorgvinsson and Dóri Björnsson are back with their second record, Midnight Champion.

The new record takes off from where the dark synth stylings of Fearless left off, with each song taking the listener into a seemingly different universe from the song before it. From moody, introspective (post)-rock, to dancefloor-worthy hits, to riffing metal-oriented tracks that show off Krummi's peerless voice, Midnight Champion is not simply a sequel to Fearless; it exceeds it in every way, making good on the promise that that first record was, as Krummi once said in an interview, "only the beginning."

Midnight Champion features stunning art which was specially commissioned from Branca Studio (Danko Jones, Pentagram, Black Dahlia Murder, Swans) and was recorded in Iceland at Studio Neptunus and Unstudios. The album is available worldwide on Artoffact Records as a double vinyl pressed on special cream colour (black also available), as well as CD digipak and a special edition cassette.
