“We Are Legion” is the second single, following “Leeches,” that will appear on the band’s forthcoming full-length debut album, Infection.
“We Are Legion” tells the story of a greedy magician who calls upon multiple demonic forces in an act of greed and a lust for power. Unbeknowst to him, the demonic forces assemble into the mythical LEGION, and overpower the would-be sorcerer.
The second song released by the band in its current lineup, “We Are Legion” reflects the same core sound Venomous (vocals, guitar) explored during the band’s early phase as a solo project. Tracked during the same sessions as “Leeches,” the song features guitarist Mordred on bass guitar and session drummer Maikon Queiroz.
The band is currently in the writing and recording phase for Infection, which will be released in 2025.

BIO:
Lenax are a Nashville-based melodic black metal band that first emerged in November 2022 as the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Venomous. The project evolved from a solo act into a full-fledged band known by a growing fanbase for their distinct blend of aggressive old-school black metal with esoteric and symphonic elements.
Drawing inspiration from a wide array of black metal bands from established titans to the obscure, the “Big Four” of thrash metal, and even a dash of classic heavy acts like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, Lenax’s signature sound pays homage to their influences while establishing them as pioneers of something new altogether dubbed by Venomous as “cosmic horror fueled nightmares.” — an immersive sonic rumination on rebellion against religion, revenge, and self-realization through occult technology, with a distinct nod to Lovecraftian lore and the impending doom of the Outer Gods.
Since releasing their debut EP Purity in October 2023, Lenax has garnered praise from both domestic and international press, with Rock Hard and Metalized featuring the band and The Metalverse lauding their ability to blend melody with black metal’s raw power. Never losing an ounce of momentum, the band’s noses remain firmly on the grindstone as they prepare for a
busy year ahead, with two new songs and accompanying music videos already in the works for 2024, preceding a full-length album slated for a
2025 release.
