The sound of Oakland, California's Lionheart is as American (and West Coast) as it gets, mixing the classic thrash of hardcore punk and heavy metal with the rhythmic lyrical flow of hip-hop. It may be surprising, then, that the group's largest waves of success hinges on top-flight tours and festival appearances throughout Europe. Such performances have let the group string together a strong discography including two "series" of albums, Welcome to the West Coast (with installments released in 2014, 2017, and 2022) and Valley of Death (released in 2019 and 2026).
