Liege Lord certainly made their mark on the heavy metal genre. The band's brand of power metal combined the influences of early Iron Maiden and Judas Priest with the grit of '80s thrash metal. The nucleus of this sound was the songwriting of bassist Matt Vinci, who recently passed away on September 9, 2023. Matt would bring lyrics and bass lines to guitarist Tony Truglio, and together they would create metal masterpieces for three Liege Lord albums, Freedom's Rise (1985), Burn To My Touch (1986) and Master Control (1988). Liege Lord continues to this day, and Tony Truglio remains the only original member of the band after Matt's passing. On this podcast episode, Tony Truglio talks about Matt's importance to Liege Lord and his enduring creative legacy. We remember Matt fondly and hope many will listen to this tribute to him, as Tony picks four songs that represent him well. There is also a GoFundMe page for those fans who wish to contribute to the family of Matt Vinci, here.
