Legion of Wolves (old school death metal), live at The Pint, Dublin, Ireland, 09/11/2013, playing with Ceaseless Blight and Celtachor.
Bio
Formed in 2009 by Annatar (guitar) and Jason Connolly (drums), (both ex Abaddon Incarnate). They had played together and had long since spoke of starting a band that would embrace the old school vibe. That vibe was engraved in the memories of so many who had grown up in the 80’s and 90’s. They had grown up on bands like Slayer, Testament, Master,Death, Deicide, Pestilence, Unleashed, Bolt Thrower and Demolition Hammer who had stamped their mark by making their music extreme, dark and powerful. Annatar and Connolly wanted to recapture this effect and planned to do so on the basis that if something is not broken don’t fix it.
In Feb 2010, they were joined on second guitar by Arkadiusz Kupiszowski who had answered an ad on the internet. Arek brought a welcomed technical boost to the band and he too was an enthusiastic song writer, which he displayed right from the beginning. Through Arek, Krzysztof Kostepski was drafted in on vocals. His deep growl was what Annatar was looking for and his knowledge of metal made him versatile in the character of his vocal style and the vocal patterns he would utilise. A bass player was needed to complete the line-up. Connolly suggested John McGhee (his Primal Dawn band mate) as a more than capable candidate. McGhee joined rehearsals on bass duties and would go on to act as a backing vocalist also. His ear splitting high pitched screams complimented Krzysz’s deeper growl perfectly.
In late 2011 the band called on the expertise of engineer Bryan “Barney” Turner. Turner would record, mix and master their debut 4 track demo. The result certainly did justice to the band’s writing and playing qualities and reflected their hard work thus far. The demo, “Mark of the Legion”, was greeted by an online audience with complimentary and encouraging feedback. An official release is pending.
