Jay-Z beloved Leicester, UK rockers Kasabian’s third album West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum is out in June, but we’re already getting a taste via “Vlad The Impaler.” Nice, there aren’t enough songs about Vlad the Impaler, aka Vlad Dracula, aka Dracula, aka etc. In this retrofit video, English actor and comedian Noel Fielding, aka The Mighty Boosh‘s Vince Noir, does a great job playing the grim, but lovable title role.
You can nab an MP3 of the track for a limited time (until midnight 4/3) at www.kasabian.co.uk. It premiered today on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show.
The West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum is out 6/8 via RCA.

Really liking this – the song is a bit different, in a good way, for Kasabian, and it definitely fits the vibe of the video, which is awesome.
God I hate this band. What is THAT!?
Kasabian > Animal Collective
Not funny.

Vince Noir is my future husband!

kasabian > animal what? > grizzly who? > T Pain > my ego
Hehe, great video, lackluster new single (Only lyrically mind you). Hehe, the dude from Mighty Boosh is looking for a LARGE Golfball to put on his spike….
I love kasabian, why does everyone always have to post how much they hate something. Who cares, who really cares that i like kasabian either but at least what i’m saying is positive.
I wonder if anyone has noticed that all the > stuff is a joke, and we enjoy your frustration.
Wow, that song is a little all over the place. Really bad. Video could have been good, but the execution was a little cheesy!
song sucks, video is awesome. love the bit at the end where he’s surrounded by nuns with torches
Boosh!
LOVE the video
I really like this. Great stuff.
For the record, the song is not the first actual single from the record, instead it’s apparently going to be a song called “Fire” that is to be released on June 1st in the UK. This was posted on their myspace/website earlier today.
That’s the scoop, hope that helps.
“the execution was a bit cheesy”
Is it not painfully obvious that it is meant to be cheesy!?
Welcome back boys… far too long away. Video is soooooo well done. The Omen would struggle to scare now LOL.
nice back ground pic.
i like this look alike 70s-80s style. some part of the vid reminds me of sam raimi’s evil dead.
Such a great band with a lot of creativity. Well done once again mates!
cool vid mates, another awesome song!
Hey, isn’t this a Gwar song?
