Rise of the lion

"Rise of the Lion" is the fourth studio album of the American metalcore band, Miss May I, it was released on April 25, 2014 on the Rise Records label. In the first major interview for the album, vocalist Levi Benton spoke with Jake Denning of Absolutepunk.net, going into a few of Denning's favorite tracks from the album, but also explained the background behind the album title: "Well, it’s a very fan based record. All the lyrics are letters back from letters we’ve gotten from fans and haven’t been able to write back. There’s some topics we haven’t faced, but things that have touched while reading letters in the past. We see many tattoos and crazy stuff with the lion and how much it means to fans. Basically the lion is a symbol for us and all of our fans, we just wanted to dedicate this to them. This is our follow-through record, and we think this is going to be a big one and a big fan-base growing album for us. This is the rise of the lion."
