After delivering ‘all conquering’ (NME) sets at Reading/Leeds and with their career defining new LP ‘For Crying Out Loud’ debuting at Number 1 in the UK Album Chart, Kasabian have revealed the video for their new single ‘III Ray (The King)’, impacting September 22nd on Sony Music.
The riotous eruption that opens the record, Ill Ray (The King)’, takes the self-aggrandisement of the best hip hop diss tracks and delivers it with a fistful of Leicester-bred piss-taking. The video was written and conceived by Serge Pizzorno and features the three-time Emmy Award Nominated Game Of Thrones actress Lena Headey, who plays Queen Cersei in the show. It sees Lena meddling with the occult in a ploy to bring King Richard III back from the dead, whose body was buried in Leicester.
Written and produced by Serge and recorded at the Sergery, his Leicester studio, Kasabian’s sixth studio album’ For Crying Out Loud’, had the critics raving with The NME, The Telegraph, Mirror, The I, The Sun, and Q Magazine all giving the record 4* and the Daily Star 5*. Live, the band have never sounded better, selling out each and every show. They gave a ‘heart racing’ performance at TRNSMT in July and as previously mentioned a triumphant return to the headline slot at Reading & Leeds.
Kasabian have four UK #1 albums to their name and have sold over 5.5 million albums worldwide. They’ve won a Brit, seven NME awards, four Q Awards and have headlined Glastonbury Festival, as well as V Festival, T in the Park, and numerous festivals worldwide.
