Multi-platinum selling rock band KINGS OF LEON officially announces the release of their hugely anticipated seventh studio album WALLS coming 14 October. The Grammy Award winning group decided to return to their recording roots in Los Angeles and worked with famed producer Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Coldplay, Florence + the Machine).
The album, which comes three years after
their Grammy Nominated album Mechanical Bull, has been teased the past several
days in a series of cryptic social media posts that have had fans in a frenzy. In
a teaser from the band, Caleb Followill shares a glimpse of what’s to come and
gives a mysterious foreshadowing of the album with a voiceover saying, “…the
walls come down.” Lyrically, the album
will touch on band members’ personal stories, which Q Magazine calls “goosebump
inducing” and “worth holding your breath for.”
Since their debut in 2003, Kings of Leon
(Caleb (guitar/vocals), Nathan (drums), Jared (bass) and Matthew Followill
(guitar)) have released six albums (Youth & Young Manhood (2003), Aha Shake
Heartbreak (2004), Because of the Times (2007), Only by the Night (2008), Come
Around Sundown (2010) and Mechanical Bull (2013), sold over 18 million albums
and over 24 million singles worldwide. The multi-platinum selling band has had
five singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, all six of their studio albums on
Billboard’s Top 200 list and two singles that reached #1 on Modern Rock radio.
In addition, they have had seven Grammy Nominations, three Grammy Award wins,
three NME Awards, two Brit Awards and one Juno Award. They have toured all over
the world, playing at top venues and headlining major festivals such as
Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Glastonbury.
