“NY’s Lost Legacy Has Been Turning Out the Metal for Over Ten Years. A Killer Six Piece Band Who Know Their Instruments And How To Use Them. Raw Power And Pure Talent Is What You Get.” – Mike The Big Cheese, Heavy Metal Mayhem
“Lost Legacy a metal band out of Bronx NY, that formed in 1998 The latest album “”The Aftermath” came out in 2009 which was a tribute to those who lost their lives in 9/11. Some of the songs are Towers, Time Will Heal, Light The Candles, their music is packed with energy, catchy riffs and powerful vocals. A tour de Force.” – Robin Souls, Metal Messiah Radio
“It has been my pleasure to work with the band members of Lost Legacy. I found them on social media back in 2008 and was immediately drawn in by the timbre of David Franco’s voice, the guitar riffs are executed in their presentation, and the bass and drums finish off this bands talent by providing a solid foundation for metal madness at its best! Their original music content is well written and has a powerful impact, as in one of their songs Towers. Their music will engulf you and take you on a journey, one that no one would easily forget. The metal world needs to move over and make room for Lost Legacy.” Syria, Producer, and former DJ on Renegade Radio
Lost Legacy was founded in 1998 in The Bronx, New York and has gained the reputation of a power metal band known for playing melodic music with an attitude. Both classic and modern, Lost Legacy combines lyrical messages that are positive and uplifting with strong vocal performances from Dave Franco.
Lost Legacy works together to write and refine each carefully crafted song. Each one of the musicians, Dave Franco(vocals); Jorge Pulido (lead guitar); Scott Bennett (lead guitar); Jochen Witllinger(bass guitar); and AJ Spinelli (drums) contribute and it shows in the final product. Lyrics from around concepts including from world events, sci-fi, the human experience and the political state of the country.
With decades of experience, Lost Legacy has always had a heavy sound performed by excellent musicians. The biggest change to the sound of the band was when Pulido joined the band seven years ago. With heavy and tight guitar tones, his addition to the band really started to shape the sound of the music. While Bennett handles all the guitar acrobatics, Pulido balances it with his melodic and aggressive solos.
A professional band, Lost Legacy brings an assault of aggressive guitars, melodic riffs and a classic sound that brings together all the elements and tradition of power metal and thrash. Stage presence and entertaining the fans are of paramount concern to the band who pride themselves on their stage show. With an abundance of energy and they put their heart and soul into each show. Although very centric on power metal, the music has a lot of nuances that give each song a different feel and the crowd is kept on their toes with rhythm changes, tempo changes and melodies that stick.
They have shared the stage with such bands as Lizzy Borden, Doro Pesch, Circle II Circle, Manticora, Randy Jackson of Zebra, Chris Caffery, Winger, Gilby Clarke, Whiplash, The Foundry, Jake E Lee’s Red Dragon Cartel, Release The Archers, Ashes of Ares, Metal Church, Lynch Mob, Stryper, Attacker, Dokken, and Fates Warning.
Lost Legacy released their first album “The Aftermath” in 2009 with their follow up full length “In The Name of Freedom” due out March 20, 2020 via Pure Steel Records.
The band adds:
“‘In The Name of Freedom’ is a work of love. When we went into the studio it was clear that we had the drive, passion, and desire to deliver a great performance. AJ did 90% of his tracks on a first take! Most of the guitar tracks were two takes and a couple of punch inns. Dave’s vocals were completed in two sessions. Five months prior to entering the studio, we had pre-production rehearsals for 5 months just to be ready to nail it in the studio.
This album has a polished feel that still has the live feel we wanted to convey as a band. The guitar tracks were recorded through an EVH III Stealth and we cranked the hell out of that amp to make it scream! We worked closely with Tom Tulotta at Coney Studios. Besides being an excellent recording engineer, Tom is an outstanding multi-instrumentalist and he helped us capture the sound we envisioned.
The concept of the album is our way to thank our men and women of the armed forces for their sacrifice. It’s not about glorifying war. But these gallant people give so much and are often forgotten.
We wanted to give our fans and new listeners a hard-hitting metal album that would energize them and inspire them to get through their days.”
