Lostprophets - Weapons CD

'Weapons' is the eagerly awaited fifth studio album by the world renowned and innovative Welsh rock band Lostprophets. This record is the follow up to their critically acclaimed fourth studio album 'The Betrayed', which was released in 2010.

'Weapons' follows in the footsteps of Lostprophets previous albums, in the way that it keeps their signature sound intact, whilst still allowing for both musical and lyrical growth and maturity. Each song is an epic soundscape of raw yet technically precise guitar riffs and chord progressions, fusing brilliantly with rolling, thunderous bass lines and barrages of drum beats. The entire album itself is bursting with vitality, energy, and passion, striking a chord with the listener in a way that only Lostprophets could.

The album is preceded by the lead single 'Better Off Dead', a foot stomping and emotive anthem of a song, chanting its powerful message with biting lyrics and lead singer Ian Watkins' distinctive vocals. Guaranteed to get all fans singing along, this song is a perfect example as to what fans can expect from 'Weapons'; pure Lostprophets brilliance. (Cat Emerson)
