#497. Legend- From the Fjords

Genre: Epic Heavy/Traditional Metal
Origin: USA
Release Date: 1979
Label: Empire Records

Legend. One of the most generic band names out there behind Damnation or Dungeon. That is ironic, because, for the time, this is unique. This is viking themed metal from...1979?!? That's right. 70-fucking-9. This is hardly metal as we know it today, because it has a hard-rockish feel with the obvious folk influences. This sounds a bit like a heavier Led Zeppelin, which isn't a bad thing in the least. The songs on here just scream "classic" and they aren't just pitching a fit! The whole band fits well together, and they are all very talented at their instruments. For the late 70s, this is pretty complex. The drummer is endlessly filling, yet keeping a steady beat, while the guitar and bass lay classic riff-after-riff with vocal melodies that will stick in your head for days.
