The Killers Prep New Album, Release Trailer

June 11, 2012 • Commentary • by

Las Vegas New Wave-revival alums The Killers are preparing to release their fourth studio album, Battle Born. It will be their first album as a group since 2008′s Day & Age. In the intervening years, three (singer Brandon Flowers, bassist Mark Stoermer, and drummer Ronnie Vanucci) of the four-man outfit have released solo albums.

The band recently released a one-hundred second trailer for the new album, containing music from the upcoming release, due early this fall. Stuart Price, Steve Lillywhite, Damian Taylor and Brendan O’Brien have all been involved in Battle Born‘s production.

Between now and its release, check out two recent covers the band has put together:

“Go All The Way” – originally by The Raspberries

Ultraviolet (Light My Way) – originally by U2

The Killers will also be headlining the inaugural Firefly Music Festival this July in Delaware, embarking on an eleven city European tour shortly thereafter.
