The band have shot a short film for their new single 'For He's A Jolly Good Felon', which follows Snatch actor Alan Ford and Sie Haworth playing criminals on a rundown council estate.
Frontman Ian Watkins admitted that the song, the film and most of their current album The Betrayed are based on their upbringing.
He told the Sun: "The song is about us growing up on council estates in Wales.
"The lyrics are about that way of life, I am not condoning it. We were good boys, it was just that our environment exposed us to anti-social behaviour.
"In this new album I have been very honest lyrically without a filter or producer. I have already covered areas like the conditioning of society and my anger towards it, so I suppose I just didn't want to repeat myself."
'For He's A Jolly Good Felon' is released today.
