Empire

Kasabian

Aggressive glam-stomp meets psychedelic synth-rock. A maximalist wall of sound built for stadium singalongs and gritty late-night city walks.

It's like a 70s glam-rock riot happening inside a futuristic warehouse party.

A high-octane blend of arrogant swagger and dark, psychedelic paranoia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, military-march drum transition that launches the title track into its chaotic chorus.
The sleazy, T. Rex-inspired glam stomp of the guitar riff in 'Shoot the Runner'.
The nearly ten-minute slow-burn build of 'The Doberman' featuring a haunting trumpet solo and psychedelic descent.
