‘It’s Not The End of The World, But I Can See It From Here’ is the highly anticipated brand new single from Lostprophets, due for release in 12th October 2009.

This is the band’s atmospheric and epic first release from their 10 track fourth album ‘The Betrayed’ set for release on 11th January 2010 which features the production debut of bassist Stuart Richardson. The album is the follow up to the 2006 number one release ‘Liberation Transmission’ which saw the band achieve four top 40 singles and go on to play an arena tour throughout the UK accumulating in a sold out headline show at Wembley Arena.

The band, guitarist Mike Lewis, frontman Ian Watkins, Lee Gaze (guitar), Stuart Richardson (bass) and Jamie Oliver (keyboards, programming), will be debuted new tracks at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festivals where they headlined the NME/Radio 1 stage and at several sold out club shows. This was their most intimate appearances at any festival for years as well as the first appearances of new touring drummer Luke Johnson.

‘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. As previously mentioned, 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.
