Brief Description
A band who basically combine the sounds of their influences creating reminiscents of a number of Retro Metal bands, Thrash Bands, and several other Metal Icons yet forging through with their own sound.
History/Biography
Asgard Legionnaires are the 1st official Heavy Metal band from Doha. They were also the first Heavy Metal band to release any material in Doha.
ASGARD LEGIONNAIRES is a Doha based Heavy Metal band taking their influences from Thrash and the NWoBHM movement. The band was manifested during February of 2002 by guitarists Nasir Mestarihi and Emre Gunes. The formative stages of the band, billed as OZZFLIK, would be blighted by member changes and political unrest. Finally the advent of the Iraqi war put music on hold as Gunes relocated to Turkey. He would return to Qatar, cutting a demo with Mestarihi including IRON MAIDEN covers, but then journeyed back to Turkey once again.
Building up ASGARD LEGIONNAIRES, Mestarihi inducted singer Rhys Corson, bassist Teymour "Timo" Khan and Yoann Larrieu in September of 2004. A drummer would be located in the thirteen year old Ateek Chima. Changes though saw Khan exiting to be superseded by Yassine Benmosbah. Following an appearance at a 'Battle Of The Bands' contest keyboard player Daniel Mehdezedah departed. Next in line to leave would be Rhys Corson.
