"Us Against The World", the new video from
IRON MAIDEN bassist
Steve Harris, can be seen below. The song comes off his first-ever solo release,
"British Lion", which sold around 3,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 3 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
"British Lion" was released in the U.S. on September 25 via
Universal Music Enterprises (
UMe). Mixed by
Kevin Shirley — whose credits include
IRON MAIDEN as well as
Led ZEPPELIN,
JOURNEY and
RUSH, among many others — the CD, which features
Harris alongside vocalist
Richard Taylor, guitarists
Graham Leslie and
David Hawkins and drummer
Simon Dawson, presents a different side of the bassist's musical visions.
"British Lion" comprises ten songs that
Steve and his collaborators have been working on between
IRON MAIDEN tours and releases and is described by
Harris as "'70s-influenced, British-sounding hard rock." "I'd say it's more mainstream rock than metal... and quite commercial… but good commercial," he said. "There's all kinds of stuff going on, with nods to
THE WHO and
UFO and some classic British rock bands, but it's not the progressive rock album some might be expecting."
