Of Legend is a metal band from Athens, Georgia that plays a blend of post-metal and progressive sludge. Their sound has been described as everything ranging from crushing tides of sound, sludge-fueled glory, grand melodic build ups, and melancholic post-rock.

Early Years (2005-2008)
Of Legend formed in the spring of 2005 in Atlanta. Originally a hardcore band, they were known for playing loud and rowdy shows in the hardcore scenes of Atlanta and Athens. In the summer of 2005 they relocated and adopted Athens as their hometown. During this time they released their self-titled debut album. The original incarnation of the band played a no frills brand of traditional hardcore, akin to such old school heavyweights as Madball, Blood For Blood, Sick of it All, and The Cro-Mags.

Transitional Years (2008-2010)
In 2008, with line-up changes rearing their ugly heads and tired of playing out the same old drill, the remaining original band members began looking for a drastic change in direction. They had ceased to be inspired with the constant grind of dying hardcore scenes and within a year they had restructured their method of writing material and shed the band's old skin. They soon began writing material for their next record and began booking shows with bands that were more in the realm of post-metal and experimentation than hardcore.

New Territory (2010-Present)
After further line up changes and many months of only being able to practice once a week, they independently released 2010's Cleric of Samsara. The band purposefully leaked the album in order to be able to establish a foothold with an entirely new and foreign fan base. Now presenting themselves as a post-metal and progressive sludge band, they cut all ties to their hardcore roots. They toured extensively throughout south Georgia and Florida to promote their release. They published a myspace blog in early January 2011 rumoring at a 2011 release.
