"After all these years, time is still the enemy." With that single line, the purpose of "New Reality" is brought into brutal focus. After years in the wilderness, 50 Lions have returned. Leaner, harder, stronger and with a confidence and rage that only experience can bring.

Never a band to pull their punches, 50 Lions have forged an album for the times. Hard times. From the frantic outset of "Cause & Effect" the impact is felt like a reality check that has been years in the making. "from the street to the loading docks, the construction sites to the office blocks". The rally cry for a generation of stagnation rings loud and clear. These are songs crafted for the here and now. Vital, visceral and violent.
