1) Lionheart is a British hard rock supergroup formed in late 1980, originally featuring singer Jess Cox (ex-Tygers of Pan Tang), guitarist Dennis Stratton (ex-Iron Maiden), guitarist Steve Mann (ex-Liar, later with MSG, Michael Schenker and Eloy), and bassist/vocalist Rocky Newton (ex-The Next Band, Wildfire), and drummer Frank Noon (ex-The Next Band, Def Leppard). The band split up in 1986 but reformed in 2016 with a line-up featuring Stratton, Mann, Newton, plus vocalist Lee Small (Shy and Phenomena) and Clive Edwards (ex-UFO and Wild Horses) on drums.
2) An Alternative Rock band from Hertfordshire, England. Their eagerly anticipated first album, I Need To Shout, is soon to be independently released.
3) The second was a Rock Against Communism band also hailing from the United Kingdom which was founded in the late 80's and existed into the mid 90's.
4) Lionheart is one of U.S.A.'s leading ensembles in vocal chamber music. It is best known for its interpretation of medieval and Renaissance a cappella music, with Gregorian Chant as the keystone of its repertoire.
5) A Russian melodic power metal band.
6) Hailing from the San Francisco Bay area, Lionheart are at the forefront of the new breed of hardcore monsters.
Clearly influenced by NYHC and rooted in “mosh core”, Lionheart have enough technical ability and metal influence to also appael to a broader range of aggressive music fans. “The Will To Survive” was originally released by Sacramento’s West Coast Worlwide in late 2007, and quickly sold over 1,000 copies with no retail presence or distribution at all, solely via mail order and through the band during their rugged tour schedule.
Following in the foot steps of Northern California bands like Hoods and Powerhouse, the band has built an intensely loyal grassroots following. Lionheart’s lyrics deal with strength, pride and growing up in a world with no handouts.
It will be only a matter of time before Lionheart are mentioned along with bands like Terror, Hatebreed and Madball.
Lionheart is:
Vocals – Rob Watson
Guitar – Rob McCarthy

Rest in Power
Lionheart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I have and it hurts so bad. I wanna off somebody
I lost a brother he was 18 years old, he was 18 years old
Rest in power, rest in power, rest in power
Now he's living in the sky, so he's looking down on me
Forever having my back and watching over me
And everytime I feel the pain, there's no escape
Rest in power, rest in power, rest in power
Gone but not forgotten 'cause you're looking down and watching
Now you're living in the sky so I do it in your name
I'm banging 2 pac's, how long will they mourn me
The lyrics to Lionheart's song Rest in Power deal with grief and the pain that comes with the loss of a loved one. The artist speaks from personal experience, sharing the story of losing his brother at just 18 years old. The gravity of the loss is apparent in the opening lines, "Tell me have you ever lost somebody? Well I have and it hurts so bad. I wanna off somebody." These lines illustrate the intense pain and frustration that can come with the sudden absence of a loved one. However, the song takes a turn towards hope as the artist reflects on the idea that his brother is now living in the sky and watching over him. The phrase "Rest in power" is repeated throughout the song, serving as both a memorial to the artist's brother and a message of hope that he will always be remembered.

To my mother who taught me true strength. I watched her as she worked her self to death. A will that was unbreakable. Even during her chemo she worked to put food on the table. May she rest in power.
