From the Fjords

Description

1979 Progressive Heavy Rock masterpiece that set the flame for the Epic Metal genre a few years later. Connecticuts LEGEND had their record released as a private pressing of a mere 500 copies, and now changes hands for 700 usd and more. Over the last 15 years and specially due to the internet share of information on underground cult gems, this monster grew and grew in popularity and price. This power-trio shared their love for Sabbath/Heep/Rush and others of the genre, but also Fusion Rock like Mahavishnu Orchestra. Their imaginary revolved around epic fantasy, specially Viking mythology. Legend was a power trio, full of great musical ideas and concepts that unfortunately didnt had a place in a 1979 garbage filled music industry. The band ended up in 1980 and changed name to Mercenary which only released a single in 1981. Acid Nightmare proudly releases this Heavy/Prog classic on a limited edition of 400 copies with lyric insert. Do not miss this! If you still dont know Legend, youre playing in the wrong league!
