As Lions is a British rock band formed in 2015, originating from London. The group was founded by Austin Dickinson, Will Homer, and Conor O'Keefe following the disbandment of their previous metalcore band, Rise to Remain, although the members had already been working on As Lions during Rise to Remain's existence. Drummer David Fee and guitarist/keyboardist Stefan Whiting later joined. In December 2015, As Lions signed with Eleven Seven Music and released their debut EP Aftermath in October 2016, produced by Dave Bendeth. The band's first full-length album, Selfish Age, followed on January 20, 2017, also produced by Bendeth. As Lions gained traction through live performances, including sold-out shows in the UK and tours with Trivium, Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, Sixx:A.M., I Prevail, Starset, Cover Your Tracks, and Vamps in North America. Their music blends elements of hard rock and alternative metal, drawing comparisons to bands like Of Mice and Men and Bring Me the Horizon.
