New Jersey based melodic Death / Thrashers LEGIONARY have just released their third full-length “Never-Ending Quest For Purpose”. You can check it out over here. Multi-instrumental, composer and founder, Frank D’Erasmo had this to say about the album: “This new album is a continuation of the path we took on our last EP, “Prison Realm”. For fans of that EP, this new album is in that style again, but on steroids! Things sound heavier, more epic and more massive on this album. All of the same guys from the last release have returned, including vocalist Chris Clancy (AS I LAY DYING, INVICTUS, MUTINY WITHIN) and lead guitarist Tony Barhoum (CHAOS SANCTUARY, CONDITION CRITICAL), but the big addition this time around was mix engineer, Mike Low. Things have never sounded this big on a LEGIONARY release!” www.facebook.com/legionaryband
