1) Lionheart is a B… Read Full Bio ↴There are several bands with the name Lionheart:
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 βmosh coreβ, Lionheart have enough technical ability and metal influence to also appael to a broader range of aggressive music fans. βThe Will To Surviveβ was originally released by Sacramentoβs 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. Lionheartβs 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.

obsessed. Trying, but I canβt catch my breath. Praying for my
own death as the roof caves in on my head. Still tryna juggle
prescriptions, now Iβm having visions, I think Iβm paranoid.
High off these meds, they fucking my head, I canβt stop the noise.
Everything I touch I break. Face to face with my demons, but
they wonβt listen, yeah they want me destroyed. So go and drag
the lake and fade away. Everything I touch I break, drag the lake
stress. Addicted to the pain, Iβm obsessed. Trying, but I canβt
catch my breath and I got nothing left. Yeah I got nothing left.
Yeah, so this must be rock bottom.
Problem after problem And no way to solve em. Running from
the truth, till my pain is forgotten and I...Canβt remember these
scars or how I got em, God damn. Yeah, so this must be rock
bottom. Problem after problem and no way to solve em. Bottle

The lyrics of Lionheart's song Rock Bottom explore the crippling effects of addiction on an individual. The singer here has become infatuated with feeling stressed, and has become addicted to the pain that comes with it. They feel as though they are consumed by their obsession and are trying, but failing, to catch their breath. The weight of their problems has become too much to bear and they are praying for their own death. The singers' struggles continue to escalate as they try to cling on to a sense of normalcy by juggling their prescriptions, but they become increasingly paranoid and unable to silence the noise in their head.
The singer's demons are right in front of them but refuse to listen and instead seem intent on their destruction. The chorus indicates that the singer has hit rock bottom, and they can't escape their problems with alcohol or medication. They attempt to forget their pain but are unable to deny the scars that it has left on them. The implication is that the singer has reached a critical juncture in their life--one that forces them to confront their addiction and the root causes behind it.
