California’s metallic hardcore heavyweights Lionheart are officially back – and they’re wasting no time reminding the world exactly why they sit at the top of the genre.
The band will unleash their new album, ‘Valley of Death II‘, on January 9th, 2026 via Arising Empire, marking one of the most anticipated returns in modern heavy music.
As a first strike, Lionheart drop the explosive new single ‘Roll Call‘, a track that hits like a warning shot and an announcement all at once.
Ferocious, groove-loaded, and sharpened to a lethal edge, ‘Roll Call‘ distills everything that defines Lionheart at their most dangerous:
crushing riffs, uncompromising aggression, towering gang-vocals, and that unmistakable West Coast swagger.
The single follows ‘Bulletproof‘, released earlier this year after a three-year silence – a silence now broken with full-force intent.
If these opening shots are any indication, ‘Valley of Death II‘ is poised to be Lionheart’s most dominant and hard-hitting chapter yet.
The kings of metallic hardcore have returned, and they’re coming out swinging.

Fresh off the completion of the biggest headline tour of their career, Lionheart are back with their brand new single ‘HELL ON EARTH’, taken from their upcoming new album ‘Welcome To The West Coast III’, set for release on 9th December, 2022, via Arising Empire.
‘Welcome To The West Coast III’ is 11 tracks of crushing riffs
and violence-inciting grooves, which boasts a star-studded guest feature line-up including Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed), Alex Taylor (Malevolence) and more, joining frontman Rob Watson for a maximum vocal assault.
Their third chapter was produced by Jamey Jasta and mixed and mastered by Will Putney.
The photography for their artwork is done by renowned California street photographer Angel Macias.
The album will be available as CD, limited colored vinyl, and a limited special box together with exclusive merch options.
Bay Area, California’s reigning kings of heavy hardcore first stormed into the scene in 2007 with their debut album:
‘The Will To Survive’.
Taking influence from bands like Blood For Blood, Hatebreed, and Madball;
Lionheart came out swinging with a full-blown assault of blistering metallic hardcore.
They quickly followed it up with 2010’s ‘Built On Struggle’, 2012’s ‘Undisputed’ and years of nonstop touring.
Following a short break after their release ‘Undisputed’, the band came back stronger than ever with 2014’s ‘Welcome To The Westcoast’.
The album debuted at #1 on both iTunes Metal and GooglePlay Metal Charts.
Lionheart stormed into the scene again in January 2016 with ‘Love Don’t Live here’.
The album title, a nod to a classic R&B/ Motown Song by the same name, shows the band’s unwillingness to conform to the typical ‘hardcore mold’, as well as the bitter and unforgiving lyrical content the band is known for.
November 2017 saw Lionheart unleash ‘Welcome To The Westcoast II’.
A sequel to ‘Welcome To The Westcoast’ (2014), the album brought forth a new era in California Hardcore, and saw them again debut at #1 across the iTunes Metal Charts and Google Play Metal Charts.
2019, after endless touring around the Globe, Lionheart returned with their most punishing Album to date:
‘Valley Of Death’.
Backed by a combination of blistering metallic hardcore and heavy West Coast groove, front-man Rob Watson provides an insight into a life of torment, violence, and an unrelenting will to overcome.
With ‘Valley Of Death’ Lionheart climbs into the German Top 20 Album Charts, as well as #1 on iTunes Metal Charts and Google Play Metal Charts.
