IRON MAIDEN founder
STEVE
HARRIS’ debut solo/side project album,
British Lion. An Amazon pre-order
is available below:
British Lion will "surprise and delight music fans the world over." It features the following ten songs:
'This Is My God'
'Lost Worlds'
'Karma Killer'
'Us Against The World'
'The Chosen Ones'
'A World Without Heaven'
'Judas'
'Eyes Of The Young'
'These Are The Hands'
'The Lesson'
With a decidedly heavy rock-vibe this roaring debut paints with a
full palette of sounds; brooding, melancholic, righteously indignant and
exuberantly heavy. With Kevin Shirley at the mixing helm – whose
credits include Iron Maiden as well as
LED ZEPPELIN, JOURNEY and
RUSH, among many others – this is an album to sink your teeth into.
The lineup on British Lion is as follows:
Steve Harris - bass
Richard Taylor - lead vocals
David Hawkins - guitar, keyboards
Grahame Leslie - guitar
Simon Dawson - drums
As far as the title British Lion; “I’ve always been proud to be
British,” explains
Steve, “I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t be.
It’s a massive part of being me. It’s not like I’m flag-waving or trying
to preach, this is not a political statement at all. It’s like
supporting your football team, where you come from. I just think it
lends itself to some really strong imagery too, and to me it fits in
with the sound.”
