The Hall of Judgement: Legend (USA) - Fröm the Fjörds

Daniel has requested that this release be submitted into the Hall of Judgement. If you agree with the below change request, vote YES. If you don't, vote NO.

Request: Legend's Fröm The Fjörds album should be added to The Infinite while remaining in The Guardians.

This change would also add the Progressive Metal genre to this release, while retaining the Heavy Metal genre.

Member Comment: "The 1979 Fröm The Fjörds debut album from Connecticut outfit Legend is often referred to as an early example of US heavy metal but, while I agree that it's probably the first genuine metal record to come out of America, I don't believe that heavy metal is the right tag for it as it's got so much more to it than that. To my ears Fröm the Fjörds is a combination of Black Sabbath, the progressive rock of Yes & the jazz fusion of the Mahavishnu Orchestra with a little folk music thrown into the mix for good measure. This places it in some pretty unique territory so I'm gonna go out on a limb here & claim it as the very first progressive metal release of any note &, therefore, I'd like to see it residing in The Infinite."

NOTE: Only members of The Infinite and/or The Guardians can vote on this judgement. Once 15 votes of Yes or No have been entered, the Hall will make its judgement.
