During the mid-2000s, former Toxik drummer Tad Leger had launched a brand new project called Lucertola (Italian for “lizard”). The group’s musical style is said to be a blend of Leger’s biggest influences: doom, old Voivod and Italian horror soundtracks ( Goblin , Fabio Frizzi ). Leger started out recording both guitar and drums himself, but was joined by his old Blackened Sky bandmate Andy Abbene and his brother Jay (Wrathchild America, Souls at Zero) in early December 2005.
