San Diego, California hard rock / metal band SEVENTRAIN have released a new lyric video for the song “Rollercoaster” from their self titled EP “Seventrain” which was released independently in 2023.
Seventrain guitarist Eric Horton comments:
Rollercoaster is a song written about a crazy girlfriend who is super sexual one moment, and then super insane and controlling the next. Rollercoaster is written from the boyfriend’s perspective on how much his girlfriend drives him crazy but cant stop going back to her, and how much control she has over him.

LIONHEART release new studio album “The Grace Of A Dragonfly” on February 23rd 2024 on Metalville Records.
As soon as the previous album “The Reality Of Miracles” hit the shelves in 2020 Lionheart knuckled down to record the next one. deciding early on that this time they would produce a concept album. The record centres around WW2, but the band very much wanted to make this an anti-war album, while at the same time remembering those who fought for our freedom.
The songs on the album are sensational, with Lee Small’s emotional lyrics reflecting not only the pain and grief inflicted by war on ordinary, innocent people in every conflict zone, but also their strength, resilience and determination. Supported by Lionheart’s superb songwriting, soaring backing vocals, beautiful twin guitar harmonies, and atmospheric keyboards, Lionheart’s sheer power shines brightly from every one of the eleven songs, culminating in a heartfelt prayer for peace in the world.
Each new Lionheart album has brought with it a leap in the quality of the songwriting and production and this album is no exception. “The Grace Of A Dragonfly” is nothing short of epic and is by far Lionheart’s finest work to date.
