PRIDE OF LIONS Roaring Of Dreams Frontiers FRCD323 (2007)
Third album from this melodic hard rock/power AOR band, featuring vocalist/guitarist/pianist Jim Peterik (he co-handles these parts with others).
Opener 'Heaven On Earth' nods at anthemic, and is a touch grandiose too.
'Book Of Life' features some neat heavy guitar, good backing keyboards, and some nice vocal harmonies; think Toto at their heavier end.
The softer vocals on 'Love's Eternal Flame' nod more at Foreigner, it's ballad Survivor territory. 'Language Of The Heart' is a faster, with vocals, guitar and piano playing equal part.
In places a little derivative, but it's solid, strong, well played, heavy; very as good as melodic / power AOR can get.
