LEGEND To Hit The Road, Begin Work On New Album

June 16, 2003

LEGEND, the classic NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) band from Jersey, U.K., have reformed and will start rehearsals in July with the prospect of doing some shows before the end of the year. Work on new material will begin in late 2003 with a view toward releasing a new album 2004.

The current LEGEND lineup is as follows:

Mike Lezala - vocals
Pete Haworth - guitar
Sean Gregory - guitar
Peter Heath - drums
Eggy Aubert - bass

LEGEND's live set will contain of a lot of old material (especially as they are back to a twin guitar lineup) as well as songs from the new album, "Still Screaming" which was released in April of this year. Both "Still Screaming" and the group's 2002 release, "Anthology", can be ordered from Monster Records (www.monsterrecords.com) or from the group's official web site.

Speaking about the initial breakup of the band, Pete said, "Mike's voice is so unique that it defined the LEGEND sound, plus the direction of the band had seemed to get lost in the search for commercial success. The new songs [which turned up on last year's 'Anthology' release], although good musically, had lost the edge of our earlier material. You could tell our time was up."
