He Is Legend have revealed a new crowdfunding campaign which will enable the band to record and release their new album independently.
“You may have noticed a change in us over the last few years. Since putting out Heavy Fruit, which fulfilled our obligation to our record label, we have had a chance to regroup. In our travels we have found ourselves again.
In our music we have gained such a respect for this thing we were called to do. We have a camaraderie and a brotherhood that a lot of bands lack and we can’t help but think that it’s you all, the true music fans, that have kept us alive. We owe it all to you and this is the best way we can keep you in the passengers seat. This is only the beginning. “
