1542 - British Lion Us Against The World 2012

The origins of British Lion lie in vocalist Richard Taylor and guitarist Graham Leslie sending Steve Harris a few tracks back in the day. But the idea was shelved until all parts were finally able to take some downtime and flesh things out together. During his appearance on "That Metal Show", Harris revealed that he tried a number of bass-playing techniques which he would not do with Iron Maiden, such as letting his strings "go dead". Kerrang! deemed it "a brilliant album", describing it as "the sound of an incredibly talented songwriter stepping outside of what he'd normally do and indulging himself in something a bit different with a group of excellent musicians." In vocalist Richard Taylor, Harris has found a compelling hard-rock singer who spreads his wings on AOR fist bangers like the driving “Us Against the World”.
