Biografia
Members of the band Adam Tanbouz, Steven Bache, Matt Williams, guitarist McKenzie Bell, and singer Schuyler Croom were high school buddies in the 1990’s. They played gigs under the musical aliases Stronghold, No One Wins, and the Uriah Omen. In the early 2000’s the guys organized their music into an EP and released it in June 2004 under the title “91205.” They settled on the stage name He Is Legend to represent them on the EP. He Is Legend alludes to the 1950’s vampire horror novel “I Am Legend” by Richard Matheson.
Soon after the EP was released, He Is Legend departed from indie label Tribunal Records to Christian label Solid State Records and recorded their first full-length album “I Am Hollywood.” The debut album was released on 2 November 2004 and propelled them to fame past the borders of North Carolina. They spent the next two years touring before releasing their sophomore album “Suck Out the Poison” which came out on in the fall of 2006.
He Is Legend has previously toured with Chimaira, Dragonforce, Killswitch Engage, and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. The lineup of the band has shuffled around in the past years, but they continue to release music under the label Tragic Hero Records and our heavily on the east coast.
Avaliações ao vivo
He is Legend are the rather heavy rock band who come from Wilmington, North Carolina. The sound that they make is like that of a freight train, inducing a tidal wave with huge distorted riffs that fill the atmosphere this evening with great force. Front man, Schuylar Croom, knows how to work this crowd. All of them are singing along at the top of their lungs, some giving their best air guitar, others with their fists in the air pumping along to this large sound that He is Legend are making. One of their trademarks becomes apparent a few songs in when they perform a few riffs that are fused with a palm muting technique which is almost close to John Williams’ “Jaws” theme music. It is an aspect that features in every song throughout this set. “Attack of the Dungeon Witch” is one of the songs of this set that everyone is singing along to, or should I say screaming along to, let the circle pits commence.
I'm betting if you started liking he is legend because of their last two cds you'll love their concert. But, if you started your love affair for them with 91025 and I am Hollywood, don't bother. They've lost all sign of what they use to sound like and played none of those songs (except for half of "the seduction" at the end, begrudgingly) Maylene was awesome however, and did sound like the he is legend I fell in love with as a teenager. Which is oddly ironic, because the singer is the same dude. Maybe it was an off night, it was a shitty venue and the audio was all over the place. But after ten years of listening to these dudes and unfortunately never being able to catch them until now, I'm not sure id try again.
Before seeing this band live, only heard reviews. Must see band. It doesnt matter what you like, they will impress. He Is Legend ,is just that, legendary. Driving to Dallas to see next show. Well worth the drive.
