Cardiff-based nu-metallers Lostprophets formed in 1997, finally releasing their debut album 'The Fake Sound Of Progress' in 2001, to critical acclaim. They have continued to follow this up by carving something genuinely fresh out of each album along with rave reviews from the press. Their sound takes in everything from metal, post hardcore, breakbeat and hip-hop, and were winners of Best British Band at the 2006 Kerrang! awards.
