Stand And Conquer

Description

The 90s were not always easy for traditional metal bands, and especially in the United States, it took several years after Grunge, Crossover and Co. for things to ease up again. Insiders know, however, that there were many local productions that also made a name for themselves overseas. Among them is LEGACY, founded at the end of the 90s to celebrate their style, influenced by Dio and Judas Priest on one hand, but also by Dream Theater or Symphony X on the other. Bands from their native Ohio like Chastain, Magnitude 9 and Arch Rival should also be mentioned. In 2000, the first album "Slay The Beast" was released, recorded live on analog tape in a short time. The band therefore considers "Stand And Conquer" as the first "real" album, especially since the line-up had been arranged to achieve an optimal composition between the two releases. A few copies also reached Germany, where a full-page interview (by Martin Brandt) could be found in the magazine Heavy (aka "Heavy Oder Was ?!"). For the 20th anniversary, there is now not only a remastered version of the CD including a 20-page booklet (liner notes, photos, lyrics, scans, etc.), but also for the first time an LP (with a printed inlay).
