about
Do all metal bands have a member named Lars? Along with a sweat-stained black T-shirt, that seems to be a prerequisite. Stockholm's Lion's Share has both, so we know we can trust them. That and the fact their classic metal assault (read: blazing guitars and shrieking vocals) has earned them spots alongside Dee Snider, Motorhead, and others. The self-titled debut album sees the light of day in early 1995 (late 1994 in Japan), and is met with universal acclaim. In 1996, Lion's Share ink a worldwide deal with the Century Media label (JVC in Japan), in the process tightening their sound by becoming heavier and more guitar-oriented then ever before, as evidenced by the band's sophomore effort, simply entitled "Two". The band is also the only Scandinavian band to appear on the "A Tribute to Judas Priest- Legends of Metal Vol.1", to which the group contribute their version of "A Touch of Evil". The CD also features Saxon, Mercyful Fate, Helloween, U.D.O, among others. In November and December Lion's Share join metal legends Saxon on their European tour. The "Two" album is released on January 3rd. April and May 1997 see the band doing a 3 1/2 week European tour with Iced Earth and Nevermore. By now, Lion's Share prove to have hardcore fans all around Europe. Another tour with Saxon rounded off the year. Word is by now spreading that Lion's Share is something special and in 1998 a Scandinavian tour with U.D.O. (ex-Accept) follows. Additional club dates in Swede
