Formed in 1997 by lead singer Ian Watkins, bassist Mike Lewis (currently guitarist), guitarist Lee Gaze and drummer Mike Chiplin (departed in 2005), they quickly gained attention via touring, signing their first deal in 1999. They released their first album, ''Thefakesoundofprogress'', in 2000, and have continued to release an album every two to four years.

Lostprophets is an AlternativeRock band from Wales. While they started as mostly NuMetal, their sound quickly diversified to the point where [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly they defy a more specific genre]]. Musically, they combine NuMetal, AlternativeMetal, PostHardcore, PostGrunge, HardRock, and PopPunk.

In October 2013, the group publicly announced that they could no longer continue to make or perform music as Lostprophets in light of the serious criminal charges brought against Watkins the prior year. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And that's all we're going to say on the subject]].

* TheBandMinusTheFace: Averted, they broke up due to Ian Watkins's child sex charges.
* WifeHusbandry: This was involved in the child sex charges that Ian Watkins pleaded guilty to in November 2013.

In 2013 the group split up due to serious criminal charges against Watkins. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And that's all we're going to say on the subject.]]

* ThePowerOfFriendship: The major theme of "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja".

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Usually a 6, sometimes crossing into the range of 7. They go down on the scale quite often, though. The song ''We are Godzilla You are Japan'' edges into 8 territory.

Despite a style that is more typically likened to bands from the U.S. (or perhaps because of it), they were much more popular in the U.K. than in the U.S., leading them to [[NoExportForYou not release their 4th album in North America]]. However, they signed a new deal, leading to their 5th album, ''Weapons'', being currently slated for a June 2012 U.S. release.

* ''Weapons'' (forthcoming, 2012)

* DestructiveRomance: One way of interpreting the lyrics to ''Dirty Little Heart'' is the guilt and shame of someone in an abusive relationship (mentally or physically, depending on your preference for metaphors) feels for loving their abuser.
