12-31-2009 - Happy New Year 2010: closing 2009
We wish you a happy new year 2010 and, as previous years, we see to the past. The year is ending and it has become a new musical step forward for LEYENDA. It began with the entering to the famous M20 Studios in Madrid for the recording of a new album, Horizontes, the third LEYENDA LP. Moreover, LEYENDA appeared in the fantastic book entitled "Cuerdas de Acero: La Historia del Heavy Metal en España" (Steel Chords: The Hystory of Heavy Metal in Spain), giving credit of the hard work done along all these years. Right after the recording of "Horizontes", Fleky, drummer, decided to leave the band in order to keep more familiar life. Jose Carlos Molina Jr entered in his substitution and play in the next four shows in Avila, Madrid, Santander and Barakaldo. The rest of the year has passed with promotion interviews, and reviews, as well as searching for a new drummer. Some days ago we announced the new drummer, Jörgen Bjurenlind, to complete the band.
LEYENDA's Friend Club (www.leyendarock.net/foro) is still the core of the "LEYENDA family". There you can find nice people from all over Spain and some from outside talking about everything in general and music in particular. More than 240 registerd users, 1800 themes and 80.000 messages are a good balance for a music band forum. LEYENDA entered also in the most important social networks: Facebook, Myspace and Reverbnation. We received 50.000 visits to the Myspace profile (www.myspace.com/leyendarockspace) that we deeply thank, and more than 1500 registered friends.

More than 14 years since the first band members started LEYENDA. A slow work without any hurry, as the best cooking. We wish you an amazing New Year 2010. Keep with us.

12-24-2009 - Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!! we would like to thank all our fans worldwide. We are proud to know that our music is liked in foreign countries, specially Japan and Germany, in where some dealers are trying to distribute LEYENDA new album, Horizontes. We´ve been very busy all these last months but now we can ensure that 2010 is going to be a great year for LEYENDA. New shows in Spain will soon be confirmed. But before that happens, we wish you a Merry Christmas! Check the forum, LEYENDA's Friend Club (www.leyendarock.net/foro), and have some international friends in it.

12-28-2008 - LEYENDA Wishes You A Happy New Year 2009
Last year 2008 has been a controvert year for LEYENDA, with sad and greateful news at the same time. It began with the intention to compose the new thrid official album, but soon the band had the opportunity to share another gig, this time with DRAGONSLAYER. The tour was announced to start in March, but at the end of January the first problem arises. Ivanhoe, drummer, can not afford continuing in the band because of external problems. Some weeks before the tour, Alfonso "Fleky" comes into the band as an earthquake. Shows in Zaragoza, Valencia, Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid and Alicante, a great experience with Dragonslayer bandmates and again problems. In August, Davebass, original member of LEYENDA, says goodbye to the band because personal and familiar decision. Then, in October, Alejandro R. Hervás, good and vocational bass player, joins the project. LEYENDA signs with the record label PICAP for the edition of the next 3 albums. The band continues the composition of the album that was stopped at the beggining of 2008. These days the album is ready to be recorded and in a few weeks the band will enter the studio.
On the other hand, LEYENDA Friend Club continues strong, more than ever, with more than 200 registered friends from all over the world (but especially Spain, of course), with more than 1300 themes, 65000 messages and 80 each day. The Myspace has reached more than 1000 friends and 30000 visits, and the official website www.leyendarock.net is the fundamental entry point for LEYENDA information.
More than 13 years working hard, slowly, silently, but safe. With 1 demo as Infernal, 3 as LEYENDA, 2 official albums with 2 different record companies, hundreds of live shows, 3 national tours, a lot of time consuming and human consuming problems. Antonio S. Montemayor is the only former member of the band still in it. However, the band is now stronger than ever, with experience and friendship. For this reason, this new year will be a great one for LEYENDA, and we wnat to wish you a happy new 2009. Thanks for your support!

7-27-2008 - Summer Vacation
It has been passed a long time since no news about the band. A Spring tour around Spain with colleagues Dragonslayer has consumed most of the time of the band. Afterwards, personal and professional compromises have altered the traditional LEYENDA lifestyle. However, we want to state that LEYENDA has started the composition of its upcoming third album, although there is no title or set list in advance. At the same time, the band is scheduling some puntual performances that will take place before the end of 2008, and that they will be advertised at the right moment. Approaching to August, and with the mind in the all wished vacations, LEYENDA wants you a comfortable rest, and let the rock walk along your path. For those more active, we invite you to participate in the LEYENDA Friend Club, LEYENDA's most histrionic, familiar and active place reserved for its friends.
