lionfight is a Nu Metal / Energy Rock band.
The collective was formed in April 2013 by 4 creatures of the night that tell tales of disgust, betrayal, ignorance, and abuse.
“The Darkness makes you who you are. Many people tend to run away from it, when you can learn to control it and turn it into something not only beneficial to you, but other creatures and the universe itself. lionfight means fighting through it all no matter what, and standing your ground whether it’s that people don’t understand you, or you against yourself. #Freaks do whatever the hell it takes.”
lionfight began writing music and shortly after started playing shows around the greater Chicago area. With an ever swelling fanbase driven by their intense and haunting live shows, lionfight began booking bigger shows such as the Bad Blood tour with Blood on the Dance Floor and a slot on the South by so What?! Fall Edition Festival. Now, lionfight will be embarking on their biggest tour to date, when they open for Breathe Carolina on the We Are Savages tour in February. With a dark and heavy feel that can be attributed to such influences as KoRn, Mudvayne, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, & Linkin Park, lionfight makes each song their own. You can feel this in their first two singles, Vine and Fake Friend. The band is currently in the studio with Marc McClusky (Chiodos, letlive, Hit the Lights), putting the final touches on their debut self titled EP due to be released February 4th. lionfight will be touring the west coast with Breathe Carolina in February for their WE ARE THE SAVAGES tour and touring Texas in March. During their tour in Texas, the band will be featured on the Main Stage of the South by So What festival in Grand Prairie, TX. Always looking after their fans, the band stays in touch through social media and each member can be followed on twitter. Normality is not an option, because we are all #FREAKS >:)
