King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard by Jason Galea
King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard’s lead single is ‘Gila Monster’.
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard have announced the release of their new album PetroDragonic Apocalypse; Or, Dawn Of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth And The Beginning Of Merciless Damnation for release on June 16th.
It’s seen as a direct follow-up to 2019’s (or about 50 albums ago) Infest The Rats’ Nest, taking that first excursion into thrash a few steps further.
“When we made Rats’ Nest, it felt experimental,” Stu Mackenzie has said. “Like, ‘Here’s this music that some of us grew up on but we’d never had the guts or confidence to really play before, so let’s give it a go and see what happens’.”
And when we made that album we were like, ‘Fuck, why did it take us so long to do this?’ It’s just so much fun to play that music, and those songs work so well when we play them live. So we always had it in our minds to make another metal record.
Gila Monster, meanwhile, is out with a video directed by SPOD, who’s explained: “I wanted to shoot Lord of the Rings 4 but also make a video game, so I mixed both mediums and came up with this majestic journey for truth and power in a cursed world.”
“I mixed 3D animation, modelling & live footage in a 3D video game program to create this marvellous voyage of man & beast. Friend or foe?”
