The UK masters of Melodic Rock return with their new effort “The Reality Of Miracles” which takes you on a trip back to the 80’s and marks another highlight in the group’s long career. The current line-up consists of Dennis Stratton (guitars, ex Iron Maiden), Steve Mann (guitars, Michael Schenker), Rocky Newton (bass, ex Michael Schenker Group), Clive Edwards (drums, Ex UFO) and former Shy and Phenomena vocalist Lee Small.
As always, two of the biggest trademarks of LIONHEART are the inimitable, majestic and polyphonic chorusses and the tasty, upfront keyboard performance by Mann which shine throughout the whole disc. Highlights include “Thine Is The Kingdom”, “Widows” and “Kingdom Of The East”.
Overall, “The Reality Of Miracles” without any doubt is one of this year’s genre highlights: skilled song-writing, perfect sound production (by Steve Mann) and superiour musicianship. Close to perfection.
