If you are a fan of LEGEND's sole album “From The Fjords“, or Progressive Rock in general, then you must listen to this. Mercenary was originally created by Kevin Nugent {also behind the band Legend} in the New Haven, Connecticut area in the early 80s. The band had success in New England throughout the 80s up until Kevin Nugent's death. Songs featured on “Tribute“ were originally demos that were then re-worked to be finished after the death of Nugent as a tribute, hence the name of the cassette released. Only about 500-1000 were released featuring tracks such as Return Flight, Mercenary, Horizons Change, and Final Dream. John V. Capoccitti is an opera-trained vocalist with a 3 1/2 octave vocal range. He has also been in New England bands such as Wicked Truth. Steven Negri was a child prodigy, playing violin at Carnegie Hall as early as age 5. This release also features Fred Melillo whom also played on Legend's album. 1. Return Flight (0:00) 2. Mercenary (05:39) 3. Horizons Change (12:01) 4.
