New Model Army - Love Of Hopeless Causes

Originally released in 1993, The Love of Hopeless Causes stands as the sixth studio album from British rock institution New Model Army. Produced by Niko Bolas and released during the band’s brief tenure with Epic Records, the album captured NMA at a moment of both reinvention and defiance.

Propelled by the incendiary single “Here Comes the War”, the record balances the band’s trademark fiery rock anthems with a darker, more atmospheric edge—an evolution that earned it strong chart success, peaking at #22 on the UK Albums Chart. Tracks like “Living in the Rose” and “Fate” highlight the group’s ability to blend raw political urgency with haunting melodic depth, making the album a compelling listen from start to finish.

Reissued here on 180-gram black vinyl, this edition preserves the intensity and clarity of the original recordings while offering a heavyweight format built to last. Whether rediscovering the album or hearing it for the first time, The Love of Hopeless Causes remains a standout moment in New Model Army’s storied catalog—as urgent, passionate, and vital today as when it was first released.
