Legend from the British Channel Island Jersey is one of the most innovative bands of the glorious New Wave Of British Heavy Metal period. Pete Haworth (guitar) formed the group way back in the summer of 1980. Along with similar acts such as Shiva, Omega or Bleak House, Jerseys Legend plays a progressive yet very heavy style of metal. Not being able to secure a record deal Mike Lezala (vocals), Marco Morosino (guitar), Eggy Aubert (bass), Dave Whitley (drums) and the mentioned Peter Haworth formed their own label Workshop Records and issued three very collectible records: Legend (1981), Death In The Nursery (1982) and a limited edition 12 EP including four tracks (1982). By 1984, however, they had called it quits after a final live appearance at London’s legendary Marquee club, where a pretty well-known musician was in attendance. Pete Haworth recalls: We didn’t play very well, however, Lemmy did buy a copy of Death In The Nursery and asked me to sign it. Then he took me and my brother Neil to some club in Soho and I can’t remember much after that. In 1998, a compilation entitled Retroshock 1981-1984 was issued on cd. This rekindled the interest in Legend and the band reformed to release their fantastic Still Screaming record in 2003. The Dark Place is the ban’s fourth full-length album and does feature some of their best ever material. Songs such as Halls Of The Dead or Burn With Your Demons do sound surprisingly contemporary without Legend turning their backs on the classic NWoBHM style. The record includes a new recording of Taste Of Life (from the debut album) as well as an alternative take on Questions And Answers (originally off their 1983 demo tape).
