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. In 2002 their back-catalogue was reissued on the double disc set Anthology and a comeback album called “Still Screaming”was released in 2003.

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

Suffering
Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I push right through all the lies
How did we come so far? x2
Inside, I never had your back
Inside, I never wanted to be loved by you.
This is a fucking war.
And when the time is right
You'll finally see your lies
And where will your family be?
You always fool yourself into what is right
There's no future in what you see
There's no future in what you want to be
You're not the same to me
You've changed for worse.
You're changing this for the worst in time maybe
You'll realize what you've done this time around
I know your fine but I'm dying inside, help me
I'm fucking dying inside of me
Oh my God, who was I to judge?
It's your life but don't forget about me
I'm one of you, your blood runs through me
Stop living a lie, you're fucking killing me.
End your suffering.
The lyrics of Legend's song "Suffering" seem to be about the pain and struggles that arise in relationships. The first few lines convey the idea that the singer does not shy away from the pain or difficulties in relationships. They face them head-on and move through them instead of avoiding or ignoring them. The next lines are somewhat contradictory as the singer talks about not having someone's back and not wanting to be loved by them. This might suggest a sense of personal conflict, of wanting to be independent and not relying on others for love and support while still needing it.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more assertive. The singer talks about how this is a war and how the truth will eventually emerge. The lyrics also suggest that the people involved in this relationship are fooling themselves, and there is no future in their current situation. There is a sense of confusion and exasperation as the singer doesn't seem to understand their situation and their needs. The last few lines suggest that the person is dying inside and needs help.
Overall, the lyrics of "Suffering" seem to be about the need for honesty and transparency in relationships. They also suggest that maintaining an independent identity is important while still needing love and support from others.

Lenn Decimated
This band's sound is about as original as their band name, which is also about as original as this song title. The album cover is pretty original too. Amiright? Same with the font of their band name. It's pretty much like Rise went ahead one day and said "Let's literally go ahead and sign the most bland and cliché group we've EVER signed!!!!"
Rene ZZ
I was just passing by to pay respect

In reality there's not many bands that sound just like "this" if you want to get technical with it. maybe a similar sound/style since you know. they are the same genre.
Steve
That new Miss May I album cover is badass
