SEE WHAT THE PRESS HAS BEEN SAYING ABOUT HEAVY FRUIT
"The song (No Visitors from
Heavy Fruit) takes the band's brand of fire-roasted metalcore and Ping-Pongs it between speedy, heads-down, mosh pit-ready aggression and massive, melodic spaciousness that, in a just world, would be a staple of classic rock playlists come the year 2046." -AltPress
"Overall, 'Heavy Fruit' is a impressively consistent record that fans of heavy music should absolutely check out." -Revovler (4.5/5 Stars)
"The wait has been worth it" -Last.fm
"It only takes one listen to be fully seduced by whatever witchy thing He Is Legend has brewing." - New Noise Magazine (4.5/5 Stars)
"Its depth requires the listener to substantially invest themselves, but it shouldn't take more than a few listens until the hooks covertly take hold." -The PRP
"If MetalSucks were able to cover only ten bands, we'd wage war to ensure that He Is Legend is one of them. HIL is both elemental and innovative, simultaneously familiar and singular, simple and sophisticated." - MetalSucks
"A deft blend of heaviness, catchiness, and fervor,
Heavy Fruit will prove to be worth the wait for fans of He Is Legend." - Lambgoat
"Heavy Fruit is an addicting listen, and only gets better with each subsequent press of the play button." -
Heavy Blog is
Heavy (4.5/5 Stars)
"Their style of rock weighs with whiskey, cigarettes, and magick overtones." - Disinformation
