Since their first release ,Watch'em Die" in 2013, Lion's Law quickly managed to become one of the most important Oi! bands of our time and you would have to live your skinhead-life under a rock in order to bypass one of their energetic life shows or additional releases, which received positive feedback throughout the whole scene. It is therefore no wonder that their new album "The Pain, the Bloood and the Sword" was one of the most anticipated releases of 2020. To cut this short, the boys did deliver, but if you want to know why, hang on for an in-depth review of their latest release. For the first time ever, a Lion's Law release greets us with an Intro which is fairly long, but as versatile as the album itself. It therefore serves as an appropriate introduction to this new piece of musical output. The Intro is followed by "PBS", which is justifiably the title track to this album, as it sums up what the whole LP is about. "PBS" introduces the listener to a darkened, medieval and somewhat dystopian setting (created by the use of strong metaphorical language), in which humankind seeks to survive. This theme shall remain throughout the whole album. In "PBS", the main vocals are way "harder" than the majority of familiar Lion's Law songs, a refreshing change that has firstly been introduced with "Get it all", one of two songs on their latest EP called Cut the Rope.
