ALBUM REVIEW: Lion’s Law \u2013 The Pain, The Blood and The Sword (Pirates Press Records)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Formed\nin Paris back in 2012, Lion’s Law have come to be regarded alongside\nBooze & Glory and Bishops Green as one of the elite modern bands\nof the worldwide street-punk scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One\nlisten to this fourth album and it’s easy to see why; their tunes,\nmusicianship and sheer presence make them a cut above a lot of the\nbands out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re\nfar more musically proficient than many people expect an oi! band to\nbe, and there’s certainly plenty of melody alongside their forthright\ndelivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake, their sound is right in your face, with swaggering guitar, bludgeoning drums and driving bass, while in singer Wattie they have one of the most charismatic frontmen in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an instrumental intro it’s straight down to business with the ferocious title track<\/strong>, which is followed by 12 more slices of top quality street-punk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They wear their influences on their sleeve \u2013 The Enemy<\/strong> sounds like old-school British oi! bands like The Business<\/strong> or The 4 Skins<\/strong>, and European bands like Discipline <\/strong>are a clear influence on other standout songs like Revenge <\/strong>and The Reaper<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the songs are sung in English, but four of the tracks here are in their native tongue, and the likes of Fidele <\/strong>and Destin Criminel <\/strong>are no less enjoyable for it, as they have a great natural flow, and singalong choruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re also not afraid of guitar solos which a metal band would be proud of, and one of the songs here, Roses And Fire<\/strong>, has a more hardcore feel to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, this album demonstrates why Lion’s Law are building such a strong following around the world. Catch them if you can. 8\/10.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
