There are several bands with the name Lionheart: 1) Hailing from the San Francisco Bay area, Lionheart are at the forefront of the new breed of old-school metalcore monsters. Clearly influenced by classic metalcore, thrash and NYHC while being rooted in “moshcore”, 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.
