Legend is a New Wave of British Heavy Metal band, formed 1980 in Jersey. The band didn't enjoy the success of other NWOBHM bands such as Iron Maiden or Def Leppard, and their first recordings are produced in a local Jersey studio. Legend is known for its sharp and sometimes political lyrics, with song titles such as "Hiroshima" and "Sabra & Chatila". Musically they blend traditional heavy metal with touches of jazz, and with Black Sabbath-influenced riffs in the first album. Also, Haworth has been know as saying his greatest influence was Pink Floyd.
