'Walls,' The follow-up to 2013's 'Mechanical Bull,' is set for an October 14 release date.
Alt. rock giants Kings Of Leon will return to the spotlight this fall with Walls, the seventh record from the Followill family (consisting of three brothers and a cousin).

“There are a lot of personal stories on this album,” said frontman Caleb Followill in an interview with Q (via DIY). “A lot of stuff that people maybe won’t get, but if you study it a little more, and if you knew the stories behind it, there’s a lot [that’s] heartfelt.”
Expect a different vibe on the upcoming album, which was produced by Markus Dravs (Mumford & Sons, Arcade Fire).
"One song would sound almost electronic and another would sound so broken-down," said bassist Matthew Followill to Billboard. "But the way it all flowed together, we were just like, 'This guy is a genius.'"
