Lostprophets release their fourth album ‘The Betrayed’ for Visible Noise on 18th January 2010. This is the follow up to ‘Liberation Transmission’ (2006) which entered the charts at Number One in the UK and took the band round the country several times concluding with a sold out indoor arena tour. The album contains the 2 hit singles ‘It’s Not The End Of The World, But I Can See It From Here’ and ‘Where We Belong’.

‘The Betrayed’ was recorded in several locations and studios in Los Angeles, with a few false starts where the band scrapped various recordings with different producers. Eventually, a trip back to their native Wales and original rehearsal rooms in Cardiff saw the group re-invigorated and energised and on their return to the US things came together quickly. Bassist Stuart Richardson took on production and mixing duties (alongside Justin Hopfer with whom he’d previously worked with on Welsh rock act Attack Attack) for the first time and the band have created their most ambitious and accomplished album to date.

Lostprophets are made up of guitarist Mike Lewis, frontman Ian Watkins, Lee Gaze (guitar), Stuart Richardson (bass), Jamie Oliver (keyboards, programming) and new drummer Luke Johnson and recently headlined the Radio 1/NME stage at Reading and Leeds, sold out a Q Awards show and performed at the Little Noise Sessions (curated by Jo Whiley) at the Union Chapel in London alongside a male voice choir.
