Quotes:

 

„LION’S SHARE is one of those rare acts who are able to mix classic-sounding heavy metal riffs with infectious melodies without sounding dated or coming across like a throwback to an earlier era.“
(Borivoj Krgin / BLABBERMOUTH)

„Riff-driven powerful  and melodic metal in the vein of bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Megadeth. LION’S SHARE absolutely crushes!!“
(Allan Grusie / BRAVE WORDS & BLOODY KNUCKLES)

On the prowl, the lion will take its share this time out! ‚Licks his lips‘
tasty!……
Eric Peterson / TESTAMENT

 

„If you wake up and your neck hurts — you must have been listening to
Lion’s Share the night before!!! Made for headbangers. Metal Church meets
Black Sabbath…raw and powerful“
