Kings of Leon to release new album Oct. 19

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Kings of Leon are releasing their much-anticipated follow up to “Only By The Night” on Oct. 19.

The band’s fifth album, “Come Around Sundown,” comes two years after the band released its breakthrough record. Spurred by hits “Sex On Fire” and “Use Somebody,” ”Only By The Night” sold more than 1.2 million albums in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The band recorded the new album last winter and spring at Avatar Studios in New York. It was produced by longtime collaborators Angelo Petraglia and Jacqire King.

The Nashville-area band won four Grammys for “Only By The Night” and recently headlined Bonnaroo in Tennessee.
