There is a new song up, and a new guest artist to announce! That guest artist would be Kristof Elst of the project Dragons and Lilies, formerly of Transentience. Although I have never met Kristof personally, I became acquainted with his musical style through his former Transentience bandmate (and Legend's Ghost guest soloist) Joop de Rooij. When he added me on facebook in late 2009 and I needed another guitarist, I was very happy to ask him to play some songs on Legend's Ghost. You can now hear one of those songs on the music page!

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that the Legend's Ghost gig has been canceled. Doing this show meant more than just about anything to me. I frantically searched myspace for musicians to share the moment with me. I went to some rehearsals feeling as if I would faint, because I was trying to recover from an allergic reaction but feared the medications I had for it would make me too tired to rehearse and eventually do the show, or worse, cause damage to my voice. I canceled other enga... Continue reading...

Tonight, after much freaking out and maniacally searching myspace for musicians to save the day after two people who had said they would play this show dropped out, I finally get to announce this:
Internationally-recorded
rock opera project live in concert for the first time! Legend's Ghost
deals with themes of ancient mysteries, ghosts of stories never told,
and sex as a metaphor for the creative process.
Includes songs from upcoming albums The Suicidal Immortal and Gatekeepers...and a 70s cla... Continue reading...

Today, I get to announce another very talented Legend's Ghost artist: Russian jazz/blues bassist Sergey Proshunin. In November 2008, I went to a Camaleon Jazz Combo concert. There was this Russian guy onstage playing these crazy bass solos and looking like he was having the time of his life. I thought to myself, "I don't care if he is from a completely different musical background from me, and I don't care if he has never even heard of my style of music. I've got to have him on my album." Unf... Continue reading...

 Dutch singer Petra Struijs, former lead vocalist of the band Galanor, will appear on the Gatekeepers album. Petra has recently finished recording vocal parts for her role as the Mother. I first noticed Petra's voice after she was chosen as the lead singer in Galanor. I could tell right away she had a very strong, versatile voice, and the fact that she was classically trained didn't hurt things either! I thought she would sound good in one of the roles on Gatekeepers, so I emailed one of her... Continue reading...

Legend's Ghost is looking for a few guitarists to play on songs on each
of the two albums. You would play 2-3 songs, more if you want to and
there are songs available.
Requirements:
- Must be a proficient, talented, and passionate musician
- Must have a way to either record yourself or someone to record you
(high quality, of course!) OR live within driving distance of Quito,
Ecuador.
- Experience playing symphonic metal is a plus, but if you normally
play another genre and are good at lea... Continue reading...

And it's now time for another guessing game! Go to the music page and listen to Mystery Singer 5 and see if you can guess her identity! As usual, if you are a bandmate, housemate, or romantic partner of this singer, you may not attempt to guess her identity. (that also goes for other people who are "in the know" for some other reason) But the rest of you can send your guesses to legendsghost@gmail.com. A few clues about her: - She recently left her former band to start an exciting new projec... Continue reading...

Finally...after exactly a year since the last major LG release, I have a new song up! This is the first song that has all the required parts done so I can mix it. Most of the other ones are missing something, so I can't post them yet. But if you want to have a listen, go to the music page. The Muse Erotic was originally going to be an instrumental, but I decided to add lyrics. Because of the nature of the lyrics, I am only showing this song on this website, and not on facebook and myspace.... Continue reading...

I
have just hooked my laptop up to a beautiful set of speakers, and I
have begun editing the final cuts for Gatekeepers! (Yes, more people
still have to record, but that's between me and them! ;) ) I
finished the first mix of one of the songs, The Muse Erotic. I'll be
listening to it a lot to decide if it is, indeed, the final version,
but I will say I am very excited about how it has turned out, and of
course, I... Continue reading...
