Tennessee titans Kings of Leon have unveiled a brand new track titled Beautiful War.
Taken from their upcoming sixth studio album ‘Mechanical Bull’, which is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated records of 2013, it’s the latest slice of new material from the band.
The track was premiered with a live performance on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 show, but was actually written over five years ago during the same weekend as Top 5 hit Use Somebody, from their 2008 album ‘Only By The Night’. You can check it out below.
Meanwhile, the band recently revealed that their latest collection of tracks was inspired by fellow American rockers Queens of the Stone Age - as well as country music! Drummer Nathan Followill told Rolling Stone:
“Lucky for us we were all in the same headspace, and taking that break allowed us to fall back in love with what we get to do for a living. We did what we've known to do for 12 years, which was pick up our instruments and play.
"We'd go in every day and play stuff we were into, and it was interesting hearing what people were into. There are a couple songs that could be considered country ballads, even though they're not country songs. One song has more of a Queens Of The Stone Age feel. Another one sounds more like Sly And The Family Stone. It's all across the board.”
The band are set to play at the Chicago House of Blues on October 2. Click here to grab tickets if you’re in the States. UK fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for live news in the near future, the band will most likely return to the UK for a tour to promote the new record.
