Fontaines DC's second album 'A Hero's Death' has been announced for July

Fontaines DC have announced their new album, 'A Hero's Death'.

Their second full-length following 'Dogrel', it'll arrive on 31st July, and comes preceded by a video for the title-track that features Aidan Gillen from Game of Thrones - give it a watch below.

Singer Grian Chatten says: "The song is a list of rules for the self, they’re principles for self-prescribed happiness that can often hang by a thread. It’s ostensibly a positive message, but with repetition comes different meanings, that's what happens to mantras when you test them over and over. There’s this balance between sincerity and insincerity as the song goes on and you see that in the music video as well. That’s why there’s a lot of shifting from major key to minor key. The idea was influenced by a lot of the advertising I was seeing – the repetitive nature of these uplifting messages that take on a surreal and scary feel the more you see them.
