Having stormed back onto the UK charts with their top 10 album Weapons, Lostprophets will release their new single Jesus Walks on Sept 10th, ahead of a series of live dates in November.
The track was the last song to be recorded for Weapons.
Guitarist Mike Lewis said: “Sometimes a new song happens right at the end and you think, ‘Yeah, that’s cool but it can wait until the next album’, but with Jesus Walks we knew it should be on the record. I think Ian felt the album was missing a big chorus type of song – and this definitely is it. If he feels like something is missing, he won’t give up until he finds it. Sometimes I’m glad that he’s a stubborn bastard!”
