The history began when original vocalist Jess Cox and Dennis Stratton, who had left Iron Maiden, approached Steve Mann, who would later become active in the Michael Schenker Group. The band released their first album, "Hot Tonight," in 1984. The AOR-influenced songs, which were conscious of the trends of the time, were well-received, but the band disbanded in 1986. Dennis joined the project of Paul Di'Anno, an old friend from his Iron Maiden days. Steve Mann also joined the Michael Schenker Group, and the members began to go their separate ways. However, 30 years after their breakup, in 2016, Lionheart suddenly appeared at a British festival. Encouraged by the response to their one-night-only performance, the members decided to officially reunite. Since then, they have been producing albums at a pace of once every few years, and their latest release is "The Grace of a Dragonfly." This album is mainly composed of familiar AOR-style songs. Lee Small, the current face of the band, delivers passionate vocals that dramatically enhance the songs. Of course, Dennis Stratton's Iron Maiden-esque guitar solos are still present. The world of melodic hard rock colored by heavy metal-like guitars is recommended for fans of Praying Mantis, Survivor, and Pride of Lions. "The Grace of a Dragonfly," released 40 years after their first album, can be considered a work that encapsulates the essence of Lionheart, perfectly blending AOR and heavy metal.
