Legion is the second studio album by American death metal band Deicide, released on June 9, 1992, by R/C Records.
The album was recorded at Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida by Scott Burns. Deicide frontman Glen Benton claims to have created the album's artwork.
The album's music is considered to be extremely technical, and is played at much higher tempos than its predecessor, Deicide. The band stopped playing many of the album's songs during live performances for a period of time. Drummer Steve Asheim would ultimately blame the band's inability to play the songs on former guitarists Eric and Brian Hoffman. The album's material has since been reintegrated into the band's live set following lineup changes.
Legion has been positively received since its release by modern publications. Benton stated that although the album was initially met with repudiation from the music press upon its release, it is now beloved by "everybody".
