"ALYGATYR": Kasabian's first single since Tom Meighan's departure

Rumour has it that Kasabian are going to delight fans with a full-length LP in 2022! The band hasn't confirmed the news yet, but if it's true - they have a serious competitor in their former frontman!

About the single "ALYGATYR" by British rockers: creation, criticism and success, facts

"ALYGATYR" - that's the title of a track by a British band "Kasabian"their first fresh material in the last 4 years! Among other things, it was released with a slightly revamped line-up - without the usual vocals Tom Meighan. Written by Sergio PizzornoProduced by Fraser Smith and mixed by Spike Stent, the single marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the band! It's a new and unique language "Kasabian."! And according to the participants themselves, this is just the beginning.

How was the release

"ALYGATYR" - UK band's first single in 4 years! It's also the first track "Kasabian"recorded and released without vocalist Tom Meighan: the musician left the band in 2020. It is worth noting that Meighan had been in the band for more than two decades! Unfortunately, legal action was taken against the singer. This time instead of Meighan at the microphone guitarist Sergio Pizzornoand he was replaced by live guitarist Tim Carter.

The new track was released on 27 October via "De Montfort Hall." - a major concert venue in Leicester, England. During the live performance, Sergio Pizzorno took over lead vocals, while Robert Harvey of "The Music." performed on backing vocals. Introducing the track, Pizzorno said:

"Alright, let's play a new single for you! We're saving it for tonight. Playing this song for the first time, just for you!"

In addition to the novelty, the band performed many of their old hits including. "Underdog, Vlad The Impaler. и "Fire.".

First criticism

Fans received the new track rather ambiguously. One "ALYGATYR" genuinely liked it: the song received praise and high praise and was described as "a new Kasabian sound"! Others, however, emphasised that the song was not bad but Pizzorno clearly inferior Meighanu both in terms of charisma and vocals.

Some even suggested replacing Sergio with a stronger singer. It is worth envying the musician's stamina, because such criticism from fans can deprive anyone of inspiration.

The reason for Tom Meighan's departure

Looking at the new single, it's safe to say that Meighan's departure hasn't drastically hit the band. "Kasabian" plays as before: fresh, dynamic and from the heart! Except with a more expressive modern motif than before. Many fans have already noted the similarity of their new sound to the style of "Royal Blood.". But why did the departure of a member who had been in the line-up for two decades go virtually unnoticed musically? Perhaps it's because Tom almost never acted as a songwriter. Sergio Pizzorno usually wrote everything. At the beginning of October 2021 the band played their first gig without the old singer: they went on a tour of the United Kingdom, which came to an end at London's famous Pizzorno's. "O2 Academy Brixton" 2 November.

At this time. Meighan shared an update on his mental health: the ex-vocalist "Kasabian" spoke about the rehabilitation experience and the "culture of consequences" on his personal blog. As it turned out, Tom left the group because of legal problems: he caused serious physical harm to his mistress, for which he was sentenced to a 200 hours of correctional labour. But that's not even the most interesting part of the story: the couple eventually married, albeit a year later!

However, creative people and rich people have their own quirks, so let's not go into details.
