Kings of Leon are less than two weeks away from releasing their sixth studio album Mechanical Bull on September 24th. 

NME has posted a recording of Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1, giving a new song from the upcoming album called "Beautiful War" which you can listen to HERE.

Before listening to the track, you get insight from singer Caleb Followill on when the song was written and some cool insight behind the story of the song. 

The band does reveal that the new album Mechanical Bull will be more reminecent of their first two albums Youth & Young Manhood and Aha Shake Heartbreak. 

Kings of Leon formed in Nashville,TN in 1999. They toured hard to gain a strong following and released the biggest single of their career "Use Somebody" on December 8, 2008 which shot them right to the top of the charts. If you didn't know about Kings of Leon befor that song, you did now. 

In the summer of 2011 at a concert in Dallas, TX, singer Caleb walked off stage after being visibily intoxicated and the band went on an indefinite hiatus after that cancelling all upcoming tour dates. 

Drummer, Nathan Followill expressed hope that the band's hiatus would only last six months and thankfully for fans of the band the hiatus did end. 

Mechanical Bull will be released on September 24th.
