Lostprophets have unveiled the artwork for their forthcoming new album 'Weapons'.
Lostprophets announced their return with new single ‘Bring ‘Em Down’ which has been taken from the brand new album ‘Weapons’ - both will be released on 2nd April. The release is followed by a 14-date tour of the UK and Ireland culminating with a show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.
It’s been two years since the Welsh rockers released their fourth studio album, ‘The Betrayed’ (January 2010). Two very hectic years. After successful tours of the UK and Europe, on which they played in front of tens of thousands of people, Kerrang! Magazine bestowed the prestigious ‘Classic Songwriters Award’ on the band.
Lostprophets are a band whose members have known each other since their school days in Pontypridd, South Wales, a group that were friends long before they became bandmates and colleagues. Through their four previous albums – 2000’s ‘fakesoundofprogress’, 2004’s ‘Start Something’, 2006’s number one ‘Liberation Transmission’ and 2010’s ‘The Betrayed’ – the sextet have risen from the clubs of England to the stages of Wembley and other impressive arenas. They hit the road for their 'Weapons' UK tour during April and May.
