At the age of 14, Chris Litz started on his musical journey. Within a few years, he was playing the local music scene in Austin, TX. By 19 he was involved in three different short-lived projects. He felt that something was missing from the music. After two more dead-end projects, it was time for a change. This was a chance to focus on learning, writing, and developing an identity as a guitarist. After a short break, a new heavy dual guitar riffing machine formed. Chris pushed for the music to progressively become heavier, but the band split up after several years due to typical musical indifferences. Next, it was time to experiment with the industrial side of metal which lasted for a year or so. And the familiar feeling of something missing crept in. He then began writing in unexplored territory that would now be classified as new age music. This is where he learned to let go of writing constraints to standard song structure. After several years metal was pouring out into his writing again. And from lessons learned in past projects, this time it would be all about writing without boundaries. In late 2016 Chris had an epiphany to combine his brand of new age music with his passion for metal into a unique blend. Soon afterward Seventh Legend was born.
Chris Litz began his musical journey at an early age and quickly became active in the Austin, Texas music scene. After several short-lived projects, he realized something was missing from the music he was creating. Following a series of dead-end ventures, he shifted his focus toward learning, songwriting, and developing his own identity as a guitarist.
​
After a brief hiatus, Chris joined a heavy dual-guitar project where he pushed the music in an increasingly heavier direction. Despite the band's success, it eventually dissolved due to creative differences. He then explored the industrial side of metal, but once again found himself searching for something more.
​
This led him into entirely new creative territory, writing music that would now be classified as new age. During this period, he learned to abandon the constraints of traditional song structures and embrace a more open approach to composition. Eventually, metal began finding its way back into his writing, but this time with a broader musical perspective and a commitment to creating without boundaries.
An epiphany struck when Chris envisioned combining the atmospheric elements of his new age compositions with his passion for heavy music. The result was a unique fusion of styles that would ultimately become Seventh Legend.
