He Is Legend
He Is Legend is a Southern rock/Post-hardcore band formed in Wilmington, North Carolina and signed to Solid State Records. The band consists of vocalist frontman Schuylar Croom, guitarist Adam Tanbouz, drummer Steven Bache, bassist Matt Williams, and guitarist Worth Weaver.[Official He is Legend web site]
History
The band's roots reach back into the late 1990s when Adam Tanbouz, Steven Bache, Matt Williams, guitarist McKenzie Bell, and vocalist Schuylar Croom began writing and performing around Wilmington, NC while still in high school. In 2003, having previously played under the names of Stronghold, No One Wins, and The Uriah Omen, the name He Is Legend was adopted by members Tanbouz, Bache, Bell, Croom, and Williams. The name He Is Legend is an adaptation of the book I am Legend which was later produced into a movie. After releasing their first EP in June 2004 entitled 91025, the band signed on with Solid State Records and released their first full length album in November. I Am Hollywood was a massive success and the band immediately began to experience a surge in popularity that extended far beyond their NC roots. After almost two years of extensive touring in the United States and Europe, the band temporarily relocated to California to record their next release. However, the release almost never saw the light of day as the group would almost break up right after they had finished recording. Suck Out the Poison was released on October 3, 2006 and triggered mixed reviews from long-time fans. It was evident, however, that the band believed firmly in the album and as a result were largely indifferent to often cruel criticisms from offended fans. Their confident, care-free response is portrayed in their music video "Attack of the Dungeon Witch" which was released in March of 2007. Soon after the release of Suck Out the Poison, guitarist McKenzie Bell left the band without explanation and was eventually replaced by guitarist Mitch Marlow (previously of Classic Case). Bell later joined the band Bloodjinn.
Debates abouts whether or not He Is Legend is a Christian group have been fueled by the fact that Solid State Records is a Christian record label. While Croom and other members of the band have claimed to be followers of Christ, the band has made it clear that they are not collectively a Christian band in the FAQ section on their website saying that, "We are in no way a Christian band... We all enjoy music, we all enjoy playing our instruments, so if we had to be classified as anything it would be a 'band' band or 'music' band."
During their tour with Chimaira, Dragonforce, and Killswitch Engage in spring of 2007, the first few weeks were played as a 4-piece without Mitch. During the Peanut Butt Tour '07, a different second guitarist was seen playing in Mitchell's spot, and it has been revealed that his name is "Worth" (Worth Weaver, who has also worked with Christian rock band Halogen, Thousand Foot Krutch, and Friends For Hire). At their show at the School of Rock in New Jersey, Bache stated that Mitch had accidentally booked himself to produce a record for another band back in North Carolina. The dates of recording coincided with much of the tour, so he was not able to tour with the band. Worth stepped in and was, by the account of Bache, excellent in his performance. According to all official band pages and sources Mitchell is still in He Is Legend. At their final show before beginning their tour in Australia, Mitch performed with the band, confirming that at the time he was still a member of He Is Legend.
In February 2008, it was announced that Mitch was no longer apart of He Is Legend, and would be replaced with none other than Worth Weaver. Marlow is now playing guitar for Filter.
The band members each contributed humorous articles to the blog site WhatToDoAbout.com about random topics such as Cats, Having Long Hair, Death Metal, and Zombies among others.
According to a recent blog DEMON DONG, He Is Legend announced that they will be taking a musical sabbatical in the forest surrounding North Carolina recording studio, Warrior Sound Studio. The blog continues, saying that the material written during this hiatus will be used to create a record "literally made of solid gold (figuratively speaking)."
On April 24, He Is Legend posted four demo songs from said sabbatical, entitled "Decisions Decisions Decisions", "Stranger Danger", "Don't Touch That Dial", and "Everyone I Know Has Fangs". These are from their recent demo sessions for their upcoming, currently untitled record.
