Here's a U.S. band that lives up to its name. The seeds of heavy metal were certainly sewn in the '70s and Legend's only full-length opus is something to be admired, bringing to mind the epic feel of the likes of Heavy Lad and Cirith Ungol although those bands took metal to more icy realms. This opus has some nice subtle touches, mainly in Kevin Nugent's almost calm persona but there is certainly a dark edge throughout this record, more evident on the brooding 'The Destroyer' which features some superb guitar work from the Nuge'. Eight tracks on this one, and the sort of mythological metal that one can easily become lost in while the rest of your mates are down the pub!
7/10
