Legend Maker

The BNR Metal Pages adds another new country to its ranks, as Legend Maker are the first band to be featured that hails from Colombia. Formed in 1994 in Cali, the band originally was called Mester De Juglaria, and sang entirely in Spanish. After a few years, a demo found its way to Sentinel Steel boss Denis Gulbey, a noted 80's metal enthusiast. Gulbey signed the band to his label, recommended the name change to Legend Maker and also introduced the band to American singer Michael Grant (later to be seen in Onward), and eventually the 6-track album The Path To Glory was released. Very much an 80's-inspired traditional metal affair, the style here is uptempo, melodic power metal, with a slight neoclassical influence (if one didn't know better and had to guess the band's origins, Italy might be a frequent answer). As with several albums in this genre (particularly debuts), there is a bit of a lack of distinctiveness and originality in the songwriting, though the potential to grow is certainly there. Since the release of the debut much of the lineup has shifted (including the departure of Grant, who was probably just a hired gun anyway). Yet they are still active, with a new album released in 2003.
