Legacy's Biography
"As oposed to what some might think, Heavy Metal is not a limited, strict style of music, you can blend a lot of things into it
and make it sound in ways you never imagined.
Think of how many things got into oblivion along the way! We saw the oportunity to bring them to light, to put them in the right place,
to bond them with the true Heavy Metal.
Heavy Metal is not the kind of music that goes with the flow and then gets washed away quickly. Heavy metal is quality music, ment to stand when other music styles fall."
Back in the year 2000, on a heavy metal stage that was beginning to re-take shape in Romania, Legacy was about to bring back to life a spirit,
a way of life that got a little dusty during the previous decade. Legacy unleashed an extremely active style of playing that floods with energy. T
his way of playing the music brought out the most of the audience in clubs,
bars and on open stages, a strong bond being established between the band and the audience. That is what Legacy is all about: inspiring the honesty
and energy of good-old heavy metal, teaching the audience to live by their hearts, combating ignorance.
