History & Biography It was unclear whether the band chose its monicker's spelling deliberately, liked Canada Dry excessively or perhaps were simply Americans being Americans, but the monicker was not the result of a misspelling. The heavy metal band was founded in 2015. The original bassist was named Choo. Released in 2016, Initiation Rituals was a three-song demo. The songs reappeared on the band's first album, which was released by Non Nobis Productions in the same year. An Earthwarrior became the band's unofficial mascot. The transported character was the protagonist in the band's new trilogy. The band was singer and multi-instrumentalist Vidarr and drummer Kicker. Dungeon Crawler added bassist Evil St. Clair. The band opened for Manilla Road on its 40th anniversary tour. Incidentally, Lady Beast was also an opener here.
The next album was a narrative based on the obscure short story The Wizard And The Tower Keep and was released courtesy of High Roller Records. Lover of everything Manilla Road, Golden Core of Germany released the 2020 EP of cover versions Heavy Metal Adventure, which included more cover versions including Metal by Manilla Road. Phil Ross of Manilla Road contributed bass.
It was off to No Remorse Records next and 2023's Time Immortal Wept. The 'metal' band featured chimes, mellotron, mandolin, glockenspiel, organ and probably harp too. The band brings on a violin player on stage, and recordings, too. The group appeared at the Stormbringer II Festival. Vidarr had also initiated his own written works of fiction beginning with the namesake The Wizard And The Tower Keep. The 2026 demo Alive Behind the Castle Walls featured a… Manilla Road cover version. It was recorded at the Keep It True Rising IV, 2024. The band also appeared at Hell's Heroes. Golden Core, which was managed by a former Manilla Road member, reissued Legendry's Heavy Metal Adventure and Mists Of Time & Dungeon Crawler as one package called Epic Metal Masters in 2026.
Robert E Howard refers to an age shrouded in "mists of legendry."
