The release of ONLY BY THE NIGHT finds Kings of Leon taking the dynamic sound that has made them one of most respected bands in the world to an entirely new musical level. Starting with the haunting guitar riff of the opening track "Closer" through the melodic, stadium friendly strains of the first single "Sex on Fire," to the closing refrain of "Cold Desert," ONLY BY THE NIGHT firmly places Kings of Leon in a musical class shared by very few.
