[edit] Trivia

  • The band was originally called "The Uriah Omen"; they released a CD entitled A Kiss That Killed The One We Love.
  • Schuylar is in the Project 86 music video "My Will Be A Dead Man"
  • Schuylar can briefly be seen in Jack's Mannequin's second video for the single, The Mixed Tape.
  • The name of the band is derived from the vampire novel I Am Legend by author Richard Matheson.
  • Guitarist McKenzie Bell (one of the original five members) left the band without explanation right before their Fall 2006 tour with Silverstein, Aiden,and It Dies Today.
  • Bell later joined the band "Bloodjinn"
  • Although not a "Christian band," He Is Legend is signed to Solid State Records, a Christian label. Lead singer Schuylar Croom has said he is a Christian, but also said: "Just because we're on a Christian label doesn't mean we go to church together every Sunday." (from and Alternative Press article)
  • Some songs on Suck out the Poison are sequels to songs off I Am Hollywood. "China White II" is the sequel to "China White." Both the songs have coinciding lyrics and both feature the character of a "Gardener." Then, "Dixie Wolf (The Seduction of...)" is a sequel to "The Seduction". "China White" contains the lyrics "You better get your gun, I see them watching you." And "China White II" contains "Your mother never looked so good, and your daddy should have brought his gun." "Dixie Wolf (The Seduction of...)" contains the lyrics "I took the pictures that you ruined from my wall", referencing the lyrics on "The Seduction" saying "paint over pictures on the wall I can't believe she gave me alcohol", and "No one remembered me, I was right after all.", which references to lyrics in "The Seduction" saying "And I do not think the people will remember us."
  • All of the band's songs are stories that are about certain myths/fairy tales. (i.e.: "China White" is about the myth of two newlyweds. When the man's wife died, he bought their dream home, had her cremated and buried her ashes. He then made a garden on top of where he buried her ashes, hence the line " I am your gardener. "
