Legacy of Disorder is a heavy metal band formed in 2006 in Auckland, New Zealand[1]

History

Legacy of Disorder originate from New Zealand, where lead guitarist Rana Freilich met bassist Jason Keill, forming the band with drummer 'Hellman'. Vocalist James Robinson was recruited serendipitously after stopping on his way home to listen to the band practising in a storage king locker and impressing them with his vocal ability. Not long after, the band began shaping their own sound - a collaborative effort bringing together all the band members musical tastes. Matt Thompson later joined the band just prior to recording their début album, replacing 'Hellman'.

In 2009, the band recorded their first studio album Legacy of Disorder in Texas with music engineer and producer Sterling Winfield who worked with three American heavy metal bands (Pantera, Damageplan and Hellyeah). Later that year, the band obtained some notoriety for being banned from the Wellington Sevens for not being "mainstream" enough[2] in relation to the heaviness of their music.

Following the release of their 2012 second studio album Last Man Standing, the band embarked on an extensive tour of North America with metal heavyweights Gwar, DevilDriver and Cancer Bats.
