PRIDE OF LIONS – Lion Heart (2020)
PRIDE OF LIONS, the revered melodic rock band featuring the legendary ‘Eye of The Tiger’ songwriter and The Ides Of March member Jim Peterik together with powerhouse vocalist Toby Hitchcock, are back with their fabulous sixth studio album, “Lion Heart”.
Peterik has never lost his verve for melodic rock & AOR, a style of music he inarguably helped forge. Pride Of Lions showcases everything that you should love about the genre on this new album: powerful soaring vocals, thanks to Toby Hitchcock, and unforgettable melodies. And the new songs and performances truly show what a “lion heart” Peterik still is.
The opening cut, the title track, blazes from the speakers gaining steam with every chorus. Future classics like “Carry Me Back” with a truly unforgettable hook, to the mesmerizing magic of “Unfinished Heart”, and the majesty of an epic song like “Rock and Roll Boomtown” illustrate why this record has everything to please all the melodic rock fans out there.
One of ‘the’ albums of the year.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
