Pride of Lions is one of the few bands that I don't have to worry before I listened to new materials because I can rely on them that they always deliver high quality songs. Since they recently released a new album, I thought I should write a review of this album before I listened to the new one.
Jim Peterik, who is known as a former member of Survivor, and Toby Hitchcock formed Pride of Lions in 2003. Their debut album Pride of Lions was one of the best album I listened in that year. His vision to create 80's melodic rock music with modern sound became reality. His song writing skill never declined, and their second album bears comparison with the first record.
However in this album, they reached higher level with creating music. From the first song, they attack you with great riffs, melodies, and thrilling phrases. Toby's vocal became more mellower and stronger. The contrast of Jim's voice and Toby's is better than ever. The album contains full of great rock songs as well as beautiful ballads. Every These people are not just being nostalgic of 80's music. They are moving forward by creating 80's influenced music which is very new and unique in today's music scene. I strongly hope that they will tour Japan. I grantee that I would be there when the day comes.
