Video: Kings Of Leon unveil official promo for ‘Beautiful War’

The official video for the latest track to be lifted from Kings Of Leon‘s ‘Mechanical Bull‘ long player has been premiered and can be viewed below.

‘Beautiful War‘ arrives in the wake of ‘Supersoaker‘ and ‘Wait For Me‘, both of which have helped to deliver the Followill family another UK number one album. Despite that continued commercial success, Live4ever’s review reported more underwhelming work, reflecting that: “For the large part, the album lacks any genuine energy, any power-combustion excitement or depth, and is instead the sound of a band artfully going through the motions.”

“After all, like they’ve done with everything throughout their career, Kings Of Leon have borrowed a piece from here, a piece from there, lifted elements of Seventies rock (like most self-respecting rock bands have done since, well, the Seventies) and tea-leafed portions of Eighties hair metal to construct a record of rock golems that, for the large part, lacks anything even remotely resembling an actual beating heart.”

Kings Of Leon take ‘Mechanical Bull’ out on an ambitious North American arena tour early next year, starting at the Philips Arena in Atlanta on February 5th.
