On September 25th, EMI Music will release IRON MAIDEN founder STEVE HARRIS’ debut solo/side project album, British Lion. A listening party for the album will be held tomorrow (September 20th) at 11AM (BST). More details will be revealed soon!

British Lion will "surprise and delight music fans the world over." It features the following ten songs:

'This Is My God'

'Lost Worlds'

'Karma Killer'

'Us Against The World'

'The Chosen Ones'

'A World Without Heaven'

'Judas'

'Eyes Of The Young'

'These Are The Hands'

'The Lesson'

With a decidedly heavy rock-vibe this roaring debut paints with a full palette of sounds; brooding, melancholic, righteously indignant and exuberantly heavy. With Kevin Shirley at the mixing helm – whose credits include Iron Maiden as well as LED ZEPPELIN, JOURNEY and RUSH, among many others – this is an album to sink your teeth into.

The lineup on British Lion is as follows:

Steve Harris - bass

Richard Taylor - lead vocals

David Hawkins - guitar, keyboards

Grahame Leslie - guitar

Simon Dawson - drums

As far as the title British Lion; “I’ve always been proud to be British,” explains Steve, “I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t be. It’s a massive part of being me. It’s not like I’m flag-waving or trying to preach, this is not a political statement at all. It’s like supporting your football team, where you come from. I just think it lends itself to some really strong imagery too, and to me it fits in with the sound.”
