Hailing from Wilmington, North Carolina in the U.S., He Is Legend is a rock band that was formed in the 1990’s. Their genre of music is a mash of southern rock, screamo, punk and metalcore.
Members of the band Adam Tanbouz, Steven Bache, Matt Williams, guitarist McKenzie Bell, and singer Schuyler Croom were high school buddies in the 1990’s. They played gigs under the musical aliases Stronghold, No One Wins, and the Uriah Omen. In the early 2000’s the guys organized their music into an EP and released it in June 2004 under the title “91205.” They settled on the stage name He Is Legend to represent them on the EP. He Is Legend alludes to the 1950’s vampire horror novel “I Am Legend” by Richard Matheson.
Soon after the EP was released, He Is Legend departed from indie label Tribunal Records to Christian label Solid State Records and recorded their first full-length album “I Am Hollywood.” The debut album was released on 2 November 2004 and propelled them to fame past the borders of North Carolina. They spent the next two years touring before releasing their sophomore album “Suck Out the Poison” which came out on in the fall of 2006.
He Is Legend has previously toured with Chimaira, Dragonforce, Killswitch Engage, and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. The lineup of the band has shuffled around in the past years, but they continue to release music under the label Tragic Hero Records and our heavily on the east coast.
