forgotten masterpiece: Legend - From the Fjords

I can't think of a better way to describe this than a masterpiece that got looked over. From the US, Legend was a three piece proggy rock group that only released one album in 1979 before their singer/guitarist died in 1983. They're amazing musicians and sing about all sorts of awesome stuff (like vikings!)... the only mp3 of it I've even see is kind of low quality because it was never released on CD so it was ripped directly from vinyl... but its really good so if you like old skool rawk then definitely check them out

(I know full album uploads generally aren't allowed but the album is long out of print, the only re-issue it got was a 500 copy vinyl one in 1997 and it was never released on CD)

give them a classic review so there'll be a push for a cd reissue

do it do it do it do it do it do it

I've always worshipped this album ever since i heard it, flawless epic heavy rock/metal. Absolutely nothing sounds like this at all when it was released, predating Cirith Ungol, Heavy Load and Manilla Road. Wayyy ahead of their time! Monster Records/Rockadrome was supposed to reissue the album on CD... but it's been taking awhile and nothing seemed to be happening. arghh!!! Definately among the finest US gems imo

My favourite song is probably The Golden Bell

Dunno if you can use .ram format, but that link I posted contains another link to the album available for streaming. Works fine on my computer, anyway...

Dont worry about it, i was able to downloaded it last night, killer album!, cant believe it was released on 79 i can see where bands like Slough Feg and Brocas Helm got their sound from, this was way ahead of its time, i really hope this gets reissued i would buy it in a second.
