"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."

The record is set to be released in October and is rumoured to have been produced by Dan The Automator, who worked with Kasabian on West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum.

However the band’s record label has remained tight-lipped. A representative of Sony/BMG said: “It's nearly finished. They're mixing it. I can't tell you who's producing it – it's secret – and I can't even give you a clue about what it sounds like because we haven't heard it."

Describing the album in a recent interview Songwriter Serge Pizzorno said: “It's epic. It's big songs that make you feel like anything's possible. It's a really positive record. I suppose it's a combination of all three records but we've just taken it a bit further.

"I'm really excited about it, because after the last record, people really liked it and wanted to know what was next, and I'm happy to say that it's got better. I'm excited about playing it live – there are tunes on there that are going to take people to a new place."

He also commented on his creative process: "I see myself as a sort of vessel, I don't even think the songs have anything to do with me," he said.

"I don't really know how or why it works, but every now and again something happens and I just seem to be able to write a song. You can explain what you like about music and why you got into it but it's hard to say how you do it yourself."
