Placebo’s release their much anticipated sixth studio album ‘Battle for the Sun.’
Placebo’s sixth studio album, Battle for the Sun, was released on June 8th 2009.
Recorded over three months at Metal Works Studios in Toronto with producer David Bottrill and mixed in London by My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails supremo Alan Moulder, Battle for the Sun is a startling, alive, vital and boundary-vaulting Placebo record. It is, according to Brian Molko, “not hard rock and it’s not pop, it’s probably hard pop. I think we’ve made a record which is almost the flipside of ‘Meds’. We’ve made a record about choosing life, about choosing to live, about stepping out of the darkness and into the light. Not necessarily turning your back on the darkness because it’s there, it’s essential; it’s a part of who you are, but more about the choice of standing in the sunlight instead.”
With new drummer Steve Forrest and a host of European Festival headline dates over the summer, including appearances at Reading & Leeds Festivals, Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park, Werchter, Rock Ness and Sziget Festival, let ‘Battle’ commence.
