SEASON OF LEGENDS

Posted on January 11, 2011

Season of Mist proudly announces the signing of OF LEGENDS, the metal side project from Luis Dubuc, of THE SECRET HANDSHAKE fame. After extensive tours and nice billboards entries, Dubuc announced the creation of OF LEGENDS a few months ago. Make no mistake though: OF LEGENDS is far from the Motown and Soul influences of Dubuc’s previous project. “Stranded” is nothing but pure metal, going towards the modern extreme and core scenes and delivering riffs that make your feet and neck move to the rupture. The kind of music somebody coming from a much groovier place could write – only with a ton of anger and hate on top!
