..Idaho Doom / Death outfit BLOOD LEGACY was founded during 1995 by vocalist / guitarist Jason McMurtrey, singer Brad Howard and drummer Jon McMurtrey, their debut product being the demo 'Enter Crucified Angels'. Signing to Screeming Bannshee Records the band published the EP ''Sorrow Forsaken' in 1996 and then thier first full length album 'Dawn Of A New Mourning' in 1997. The latter session would be recorded with drummer Ron Pence as Jon McMurtrey had to temporarily withdraw.In 1999 BLOOD LEGACY entered the studio to record 'The Eternal Sun'. However, these tapes were not made public due to the band's disatisfaction with the overall sound. Nevertheless, a single 'Drown' went on to chart within the top ten within thier genre on MP3.com and held the posotion for nearly 4 months. After a break the band then recorded and released the MCD 'Within A Cold Dead Heart' which hosted the track 'Winters Tears', which also charted with the top ten of the Doom genre.2004 brought BLOOD LEGACY's third full length album 'Martyr', recorded at Black As Night Studios for Divison 13 Records. Jason McMurtrey would also be active with projects SOUL INQUISITION, DIVINE NIGHTMARE and LONG SINCE DARK.Copyright: © 2001-2005 Musicdetector Websites
