Originally formed in 1998 as ‘Clan of Steel’ by brothers Frank & Adam Allain to play gritty fantasy-themed heavy metal, Lost Legion took true shape in 2002-2003.
Sterghios Moschos (drums), Tom Williams (lead vocals) and Mark Harrington (bass) joined this original nucleus and at this point, the name ‘Lost Legion’ was assumed.
The band spent several years honing their sound and developing a unique, uncompromising approach to their classic metal template, finally emerging with the ‘Legends of the Drenai’ EP in 2006, a 3-track demo dedicated to the works of the late author David Gemmell. Swiftly following this, the 5-piece began recording their debut album ‘Glory or Death’, unleashed on Iron Age Records.
Nine tracks of epic, stirring metal in the vein of Manowar, Blind Guardian, Judas Priest and Virgin Steele with lyrics based on concepts ranging from Tolkien to Gemmell. |
