1) Legend (now known as LGND) are a metalcore/metallic hardcore band from Saginaw, Michigan signed to Rise Records.
In today’s metal scene, most bands don’t have the backbone needed to exhibit what real heavy music is all about. Detroit, Michigan’s LEGEND isn’t most bands. The sheer magnitude of LEGEND’S furious sound is so uncompromising and so monstrous you’ll be checking under your bed for circle pits before you go to sleep at night. LEGEND are on a path of devastation that will leave the naysayers wishing they hadn’t second guessed just how severe this mid-western five piece truly is. Fronted by Chad Ruhlig (For the Fallen Dreams), LEGEND has no qualms calling themselves just what they are Legendary.
2) The American Legend hails from New Haven, CT. They are an Epic Traditional Heavy Metal band who formed in 1978. They recorded and released a single album on the record label Matrix called “From the Fjords” (1979). Their music deals with myths and viking lore/stories. They are now split up.
Lineup:
Fred Melillo - Bass
Raymond Frigon - Drums
Kevin Nugent - Guitars, Vocals (R.I.P. - 1983)
There are 500 officially pressed copies of the 1979 release, although myriad bootlegs have been created over the years. It was never released on CD. “From the Fjords” remains today as one of the most sought after albums ever.
Kevin and Fred played previously in a band called Edge in 1977-78. Monster Records is re-releasing Legend’s ‘From The Fjords’ album.
3) Jersey Legend released the full-length albums “Legend” and “Death in the Nursery” in 1981 and 1982, respectively. They also made an EP “Frontline” in 1982.

5) Legend was a Southend R&B band, established in the mid-1960s as The Orioles. The original Orioles collapsed in Mach 1966 when leader Mickey Jupp was sent to prison. When he came out, he reformed the band as Legend. They recorded three albums (produced by Tony Visconti, of David Bowie fame) but received little attention. Legend were, however, popular among their peers, with Dr. Feelgood and Paul Weller doing versions of Legend's best known song, 'Cheque Book'.
6) British pagan progressive rock Legend released three albums in the nineties, and were hugely influential with the Pagan scene as well as being very respected in Japan were they sold well. In many ways they were ahead of their time, combining operatic vocals with symphoni music in a way later adopted by bands such as Nightwish. Keyboard player Steve Paine ran the Pagan Media record label and along with live engineer Jon Moreau produced bands such as Incubus Succubus, Mr So & So and The Rattlers among others.
The band reformed in 2010 with Steve Paine and drummer John Macklin bringing in the original singer (pre any album releases), as well as guitarist Dave Foster who had worked with Steve a great deal over the years as he is a founder member of the So & So's. Rejuvenated they released the new studio album 'Cardinal Points' in April 2011, as well as making available a CD of the music from their live 1992 video 'Playing With Fire'.
11) Legend Seven was a Christian hard rock band formed in the early 1990s (formerly with the name Legend) by three former members of Ruscha, another Christian band from the 1980s.
The band made its debut in 1990 under the name "Archon" on a compilation disc released by Heaven's Metal magazine, with a self-produced version of "After The Fall." The song was re-released on the band's self-titled debut album, Legend, in 1991 on Word Records. Shortly after, the band was forced to change its name to Legend Seven upon learning that another band was already using the name Legend. They released Blind Faith in 1993.
Both albums were produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Bubba Smith and garnered several hits on Christian radio ("Carry Me", #4, 1992; "Angela", #2, 1992; "Be Still", #1 for 2 weeks, 1994; "Blind Faith", #1 for 2 weeks, 1994; "First Love", #10, 1994; "Call on Me", #15, 1994). The band disbanded in 1994

Parasite
Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are hated believe me when I say that you are nothing more
You are nothing more than just a walking sore
With a sickness that can't be cured
You have a sickness that can't be cured
Why don't you have some respect for yourself
Everyday you wake feeling sorry
So sorry for yourself
You'll never take the time to correct your mistakes
To correct your mistakes
The lyrics of Legend's song "Parasite" seem to be a message to a person who is struggling with self-love and self-worth. The song starts by calling out the current generation as "fucking trash." This harsh statement implies a lack of respect and concern for others. The song then shifts its attention to the person being addressed, claiming that they are hated and nothing more than a walking sore with a sickness that can't be cured. This could be interpreted as a metaphorical way of describing a person who has deep-seated emotional or mental issues that they aren't addressing.
The chorus urges the person to have respect for themselves and to stop feeling sorry for themselves every day. The second verse continues calling out the person's self-destructive behavior and refusal to take responsibility for their mistakes. The lyrics suggest that the person's behaviors and negative attitude are the root of all their problems. The ending of the song implies that there is a way out of this cycle, but the person is just choosing to ignore it.
Overall, "Parasite" is a call for self-reflection and change, urging the person to take responsibility for their actions and emotions. It highlights the importance of self-love and respect as a foundation for positive growth and development.

I bought this Album and am a very strong fan already of this band.. its not often you look for lyrics for a band and they dont show up ever.. and if you look this band up on napster you have to actually search thru the results to find this band.. meaning they are fresh out of the oven.. expect their next album to hit billboards.. these guys are just exploring themselves.. if you listen to the first album to this.. thats a massive change that most bands do in a matter of 10 years they did in 1

I wrote this song, and I'll say with zero shame that Psychosocial was absolutely a strong influence on it.
Aaron Michael
This makes sense since chad ruhlig got his vocal style from slipknot

tacos256 he actually did, ghostwriting in metal is much more popular than you might think.

This band is good and sincere and if you watched them lived or talked to them you would know that. They've also done a lot for their city. If you got off the internet and went to shows you would know that.
Javier Scheuermann
It's the beat and the chord progression. I really dig this band.
