Legatus

We are the Generals of the people. Our sound is undefined so we don't even know what to call it yet. Writing is our game, shredding shit is our name(is it?) Our yearning for heavy metal is matched only by our desire to make people mosh. Michael, Donnie and Shawn are the grit and backbone to this (3) piece metal band with a whole chipped shoulders worth to prove. The diversity of the group is what ads to our comradery making the Legatus experience all the more interesting and unique. Shawn hails from the state of Ohio while Donnie grew up in the boonies of the great province of Alberta. Michael is Edmonton through and through but was born and raised in the UK. When these worldwide musical talents come together one can only listen for themselves. The band looks forward to all endeavours and whatever comes in the future. Legatus: A legatus (anglicised as legate) was a general in the Roman army, equivalent to a modern general officer. Being of senatorial rank, his immediate superior was the dux (provincialgovernor), and he outranked all military tribunes. In order to command an army independently of the dux, legates were required to be of praetorian rank or higher; a legate could be invested with propraetorian imperium (legatus pro praetore) in his own right. Legates received large shares of the army's booty at the end of a successful campaign, which made the position a lucrative one, so it could often attract even distinguished consuls (e.g., the consul Lucius Julius Caesar volunteered late in the Gallic Wars as a legate under his first cousin once removed, Gaius Julius Caesar). Thrashy, doomy cool awesome death metal.
