''Legacy'' is the third studio album by Hope for the Dying. Facedown Records released the album on March 4, 2016, as the band's third release with the label, with their first being '' Dissimulation'', that released in 2011. Critical reception Rating the album an eight out of ten from ''Outburn'', Nick DeMarino writes, "On their third album, ''Legacy'' Hope for the Dying remains uncompromising. The Illinois based Christian quintet plays an ambitious mix of blackened symphonic metal and tech savvy prog." Weaver states, "As a lover of metal who has become tired of the repeated sounds, ''Legacy'' offers something fresher. This one is well worth your while." Estabrooks writes, "It makes one wonder what could have been if the compelling metal bedrock of ''Legacy'' had been matched with the genuine folk musicianship it deserves." Barnes describes, "At every turn, the lure is compromise; ''Legacy'' does not offer any such concession. The newest effort from Hope For The Dying is excelle ...

Melodic Death Metal
Melodic death metal (also referred to as melodeath) is a subgenre of death metal that employs highly melodic guitar riffs, often borrowing from traditional heavy metal (including New Wave of British Heavy Metal). The genre features the heaviness of death metal but with highly melodic or harmonized guitar riffs and solos, and often features high-pitched shrieked vocals (differing from traditional death metal) alongside the low-pitched growls commonly featured in traditional death metal. Pioneered by the English heavy metal band Carcass with their 1993 album ''Heartwork'', melodic death metal developed further in Sweden (developed by bands like At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity, and In Flames) in the mid-1990s. The Swedish death metal scene did much to popularise the style, soon centering in the "Gothenburg metal" scene. At the Gates' ''Slaughter of the Soul'', Dark Tranquility's '' The Gallery'', and In Flames' ''The Jester Race'', all released in the mid-1990s, were highly influen ...

Jason Wisdom
Jason Wisdom is the lead vocalist and bass guitarist for the Christian progressive death metal band Becoming the Archetype. Though he was born and raised in a Christian home, he states that he was never committed to Christianity until high school. He considers his music as a form of ministry, but wishes to avoid a "preachy" stereotype. His influences include Extol, Living Sacrifice, and Mortification among others. Wisdom notes that even though his music is Christian metal, many of his fans are not Christians and are many times the ones who defend his music. Wisdom left the band in late November 2011 to take care of his family. Though current 7 Horns 7 Eyes frontman, JJ Polachek, tried out, Wisdom was replaced by former live fill in, Chris McCane. He has recently started a solo project titled Death Therapy, which features no guitars. He currently works for RYFO, a company that helps musicians with places to stay, meals and other such things.
