Overview

Weapons is the fifth and final studio album by the Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets. It was released through Epic Records on 2 April 2012. It was the first and only record featuring Luke Johnson on drums, after being with two other drummers previously, Mike Chiplin and Ilan Rubin (the latter of whom features in archive recordings included on the "deluxe edition" of Weapons, as well as the hidden track "Weapon" on all versions of the album). This was the last album to ever be released by the band before lead vocalist Ian Watkins was convicted of numerous sex offences, which led to their disbandment. Like the earlier Liberation Transmission, it features Latin on the front, which reads deus velox nex. When translated it reads God is swift death. Writing and recording history The band started writing new material after finishing The Betrayed Tour. The album was produced by Ken Andrews at Hollywood. Several songs were debuted before it official release date. "Bring Em' Down" was played live in the warm up shows for the 2011 V Festival, and was aired as the first single from Weapons on Zane Lowe's Hottest Record on 6 February 2012. "We Bring an Arsenal" made its debut on 25 February 2012. The song "Better Off Dead" received its first radio play by BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe as his "Hottest Record in the World". As of 6 January 2012 it was made available for download from the band's official website. Release and promotion This was Lostprophets' only studio release through Epic (UK) and Fearless (US) after leaving their long-time served record, Visible Noise. Lostprophets also announced an extensive tour of the UK and Ireland, consisting of 14 shows which commenced on the 15 April 2012 in Dublin and finished on the 4 May 2012 in London. It was released in the UK on 2 April 2012 and it was released in the US on 19 June 2012. Because the fourth studio album The Betrayed was not released in North America, it's the band's fourth released album in some regions. The "deluxe edition" of the albums contains three "Garage sessions" tracks, recorded in 2007 as demos for the ultimately-abandoned album sessions with John Feldmann prior to The Betrayed, with the track "Weapon" from the same sessions included as a hidden track on all versions of the album. Further more bonus tracks are found on the Japanese "deluxe edition". The US "deluxe edition" is different from the UK edition. Lostprophets headlined the Warped Tour UK in November 2012.

Notable quotes

“I have no part of my body, in front at least, that is left without scars; there is no weapon, used at close quarters, or hurled from afar, of which I do not carry the mark. Nay, I have been wounded by the sword, hand to hand; I have been shot with arrows, I have been struck from a catapult, smitten many a time with stones and clubs.”
— Alexander the Great, as quoted in The Man Alexander the Great, Awake! magazine, (22 January 1972).
“Weapons of mass destruction-nuclear, biological, and chemical-along with the systems that deliver them, pose a major threat to our security and that of our allies and other friendly nations. Thus, a key part of our strategy is to seek to stem the proliferation of such weapons and to develop an effective capability to deal with these threats.”
— Bill Clinton, A National Security Strategy of Engagement and Enlargement, (1994); qtd. in Jeffrey N. Renehan, “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction A Lethal Combination?”, School of Advanced Airpower Studies, (1995-1996), p.1.
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed. . . . This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending . . . the hopes of its children.”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower, speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, "The Chance for Peace", (16 April 1953).
“Nuclear weapons serve no military purpose whatsoever. They are totally useless — except only to deter one’s opponent from using them.”
— Robert McNamara, as quoted in The Nuclear Dilemma, Awake! magazine (22 August 1988).
“During these four years the arms race has exacerbated the threat to peace, heightening the anxieties of peoples and imposing heavier burdens on each nation at the expense of its economic and social development.”
— Zenko Suzuki, Prime Minister of Japan. The Second Special Session on Disarmament met June 7 to July 9, 1982. Quoted in Disarmament or Delusion?, Awake! magazine, (January 8, 1983).
“(Russian: Кинжал хорош для того, у кого он есть, и горе тому, у кого его не окажется в нужное время.)”
— The dagger is good for the one who has it, and bad for the one who does not have it at the right time.
