Originally released in 2009, Battle for the Sun marked a bold reinvention for Placebo—brighter in tone yet still emotionally charged. This 2019 reissue on black vinyl captures the band’s sixth studio album in full, produced by David Bottrill (Tool, Muse) and mixed by Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, NIN). Recorded in Toronto and London, the album features the anthemic “For What It’s Worth,” the brooding “Ashtray Heart,” and the cinematic closer “Kings of Medicine.” Pressed by Elevator Lady Ltd and housed in a printed inner sleeve.
