The Burning is the proper debut album from Iron Maiden's Steve Harris' British Lion. Originally conceived in 1992 as a side project before being disbanded, Harris returned to the idea 20 years later, instead releasing a solo album using the name as the album title. 2020 sees Harris bring the band full-circle, delivering an album of classic NWOBHM-sounding tracks, referencing early Maiden as well as the melodic hard rock of bands such as the Scorpions.
