This album sees these Sheffield lads take their hardcore and metal roots and do something a little more interesting than most up and coming bands.

This album takes the time to let you breath and appreciate the musicianship and writing of these young lads. It’s so sad when a band develops a really great sound but ruins it by having an album where all the tracks sound the same and ultimately end up over doing it.

These guys manage to throw in that sharp edged hardcore sound that cuts through but they step back on the guitars and obey the rule that where you don’t play is as important as where you do play. This means that they can develop a great contrast across the album but without ever stepping out of genre.

This album is punk, Hardcore and metal all thrown in and churned to be the way that they want it to sound. The one thing that I like is that there are lots of style references without very many actual artist references. So many bands sound like other bands but The Legacy make sure that they aren’t sounding like a cheap imitation of anybody.

This album is good and has a nice contrast throughout, well worth a listen. I think they’ve got a sound that can help them move up the ladder. We need more bands like this, that are willing to use influences to develop new sounds instead of just copying them.
