He Is Legend, the iconic metal band from Wilmington, has carved a niche for itself in the rock scene over the past 25 years. With a dedicated global fan base and significant Spotify following, the band is set to release its seventh album, “Endless Hallway,” following the success of “White Bat” in 2019.
Formed in the early 2000s by Schuylar Croom, Adam Tanbouz, and Matty Williams, He Is Legend has seen lineup changes over the years, with drummer Jesse Shelley joining in 2016. Despite challenges and setbacks, the band’s camaraderie and shared musical vision have kept them together.
The creation of “Endless Hallway” wasn’t without hurdles. Croom, the band’s lead singer, faced health issues while juggling multiple roles, including working on film productions in Wilmington. Despite setbacks and doubts, the band pushed through, driven by a need to prove themselves and a desire to continue creating music.

Croom’s health struggles significantly influenced the tone of the album, infusing it with a raw, aggressive energy. The band’s signature heavy sound is complemented by lyrics that reflect personal challenges and a touch of dark humor, a hallmark of He Is Legend’s style.
He Is Legend’s resilience and authenticity have endeared them to fans and solidified their place in Wilmington’s music scene. The band’s roots in the city run deep, and their contribution to the hard rock genre has helped put Wilmington on the musical map alongside other notable acts.
As the band prepares for the release of “Endless Hallway” and a sold-out album launch show in Wilmington, the members reflect on their journey, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the unique blend of humor and heaviness that defines their music.
With a mix of grit and glam, He Is Legend continues to push boundaries and defy expectations, staying true to their rock ‘n’ roll roots while evolving their sound. Their latest album is a testament to their perseverance and passion for creating music that resonates with fans worldwide.
