Biographie de Liege Lord

LIEGE LORD formed in 1982 but began their recording career in June 1985 with their debut release of Freedom's Rise on the Iron Works / Azra label, a US Label based in California, now famous for releasing their artists LP's as picture disks. It is rumored that at least 5 different such disks were pressed for the album, in a variety of designs and shapes, as well as a special anniversary picture disk in 1990. These are all now considered to be valuable collectibles. That same year the band signed with the now legendary French Label Black Dragon Records. This record label was responsible for the signing of such acts as Savage Grace, Candlemass and Heir Apparent. Upon it's release Freedom's Rise was received with critical acclaim. Reviews in magazines such as the Metal Forces' 1985 review: "Buy or surely die, this album is no exception,a metal classic," was mirrored by many other metal publications at the time (Rock Hard, Kerrang, Metal Hammer, and Enfer to name a few.) This LP established them as one of the founders of what was to be later termed "Power Metal." www.liegelord.com
