Lex Legion is a brand new band comprised of old friends with incredible heavy metal pedigree. Comprising of four-fifths of the classic late 1980s King Diamond line-up – drummer Mikkey Dee, guitarists Pete Blakk and Andy La Rocque, and bassist Hal Patino – the group is infused with the jaw-dropping vocals of Nils K. Rue (Pagan’s Mind). And let’s not overlook that their members also boast Motörhead, Scorpions, and Death on its collective resumes. Lex Legion’s eponymous debut album is a single-minded, future-facing throwback of world class hard rock/metal distinguished by tasteful, less-is-more arrangements, virtuoso musicianship, and relentless melody and harmony. “Lex Legion is totally written the way we thought in the ‘80s”, said Mikkey Dee. “We wrote what we wanted, and if you liked it, that was a great bonus.

This is music for hard rock/metal fans, but also with a freshness and sense of excitement that only a debut album can capture. Lex Legion’s members find themselves more musically accomplished than ever before, but now free of the egos of youth; and with friendship that comes with careers spanning more than forty years. Despite their impressive resumes (Dee is also a Grammy winner and both La Rocque and Hal Patino are nominees) and busy individual schedules, Lex Legion is a serious passion project that’s been gestating for a quarter century, until the time was right. Lex Legion’s self-titled debut album will be released by MNRK Music Group on June 12th, 2026, with possible touring beginning the following year. And the band states its case within the first few seconds of its album opener and first single “Sleep Eternally”, out today. Watch the video below. “It has elements of everything on the album”, said La Rocque. “The right tempo and the right
