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

Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found a way to prove to you that I'm more than you think. You will never break me.
You're dead weight. You're broke inside. You will never break me.
What point can you make? x2
We are the silent ones.
I wait around for the world to change me, if and when the time is right, we are the silent ones.
I will not change for what's best for me, I'm not going to change.
I wait around for the world to change me, if and when the time is.
This is my life, I'm not going to change, because you think you know what's best for me. I will never give up.
You could tell, but you wrong, I will never be stop.
Watch me prove to you I can't be beat.
We are the silent ones
We are the silent ones
The lyrics of Legend's song, Shadow Stalker, are a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. The opening line, "I am the dreamer and I will make my own path," sets the tone for the entire song. It is a declaration of independence and individuality, of refusing to be defined or limited by external forces.
The next few lines, "I found a way to prove to you that I'm more than you think. You will never break me. You're dead weight. You're broke inside. You will never break me," are a challenge to anyone who might try to hold the dreamer back. The dreamer is confident in their abilities, knowing that they have what it takes to succeed, no matter what others may think.
The chorus, "We are the silent ones. I wait around for the world to change me, if and when the time is right, we are the silent ones," reinforces the idea of individuality and self-determination. The dreamer is not waiting for the world to come to them; they are waiting for the right moment to make their move. But even as they wait, they are not passive. They are the silent ones, watching and gathering strength, preparing for the moment when they will rise up and make their mark.
The rest of the lyrics continue in this vein, with phrases like "I will not change for what's best for me" and "This is my life, I'm not going to change, because you think you know what's best for me." It is a fierce anthem of self-assertion, a call to all dreamers to stay true to themselves, to never give up, and to believe in their own power to make a difference in the world.

This is probably my favorite song off the album, and the album is probably my favorite of the year so far.
@PaleHorse

I've literally listened to this like 12 times in a row. I think I like the tone too much..
@slamminebrute
man. You have no feelings if you find this generic. Caleb's part is just fucking insane, so mad, so furious, so perfect for lifting. We know this is simple music, but that's what makes this so beautiful too.
