Kasabian Guitarist Says New Album Is ‘Heavy As Fuck’

Kasabian have revealed that their forthcoming new album is ‘heavy as fuck.’

According to contactmusic.com, guitarist Serge Pizzorno has said: ‘It feels like the right time for big rock tunes. Not harking back, or rehashing anything. Modern. But big pop tunes.

‘It massively changes things knowing you’re going to play tunes to big crowds. When you’re stood in front of 60,000 people, those are the tunes you can’t wait to play.

‘You might have some amazing tunes but they’re at a weird tempo, and some nights you want the earth to swallow you up. But when you’ve got songs like [new track] ‘Switchblade…’ it’s like, wow, any other band, anyone else in the world, has got to move out the way. It’s heavy as fuck.’

Their fourth record, it will follow on from their 2004 self-titled debut, 2006’s ‘Empire’ and 2009’s ‘West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum’.

The band have been working on the new material since November of last year, with the help of producer Dan The Automator.

Tracks likely to be featured include: ‘Switchblade Smile’, ‘Neon Noon’, ‘Goodbye Kiss’, ‘I Hear Voices’, ‘Green Fairy’, ‘Shelter From The Storm’ and ‘Velociraptor’.
