Violent Acts of Beauty is the long-awaited fourth studio album by American band London After Midnight, released in Europe on October 26, 2007, and subsequently in the United States on November 6, 2007; a Russia release through Iron D Records was released in December 2007. It was the first London After Midnight release in nine years, although a new song titled "Fear" did appear on the soundtrack for Saw II in 2005. "Fear" was featured on Violent Acts of Beauty as well. Some songs for the album had previously been recorded in demo form for a number of years. Originally reported to be released in Summer 2007 by the album trailer released on February 4, 2007, the release dates were later re-established on August 29, 2007 as set for the dates they were ultimately released on. The album was also London After Midnight's first studio album to feature mixed live drum recordings.
