Frank D'Erasmo (Legionary) on the Upcoming Album, Being A Multi-Instrumentalist and More!
from The Distorted Dialogue Podcast · host Metal Institute of Thrashology
On Episode 70 of The Distorted Dialogue Podcast, Frank D'Erasmo, the man behind the Thrash Metal band Legionary, swings by to talk about the upcoming album, The Never Ending Quest For Purpose, the growth and sound changes that make this album more epic than previous releases and so much more. We discuss how Fran approaches the writing process, as it is just him, how he arranged the tracks, how he discovered the few musicians who also contributed to the record, being Condition Critical's guitarist Tony Barhoum on leads and As I Lay Dying vocalist Chris Clancey. A truly captivating thrash metal record, full of riffs, but having a larger more grandiose sound, and positivity packed lyrics made this an easy album to keep smashing the play button on. I thought the record was so good, I reached out to Tony to find more out about it, and I figured I would share it with you. A Never Ending Quest For Purpose drops on March 6th, and this is an album you just have to hear, as is this interview, as it tells you how much Frank put into this album. Frank is no stranger to Thrash beginning tin the 2000's, he has worked tirelessly delivering quality thrash metal to the masses and this new album, The Never Ending Quest For Purpose is coming in hot and heavy. I want to thank Frank for taking time out of his busy schedule to chat with me about the album, and on such short notice.
