Oh, and if you didn't pick up on it, just as all good thrash/metal albums are intense theme/concept albums, "Infest the Rats' Nest" theme/concept is one of environmental concern, and how we're fucking up the planet and ourselves, which the Planet B and Self-Immolate videos make clear.

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

Infest The Rat's Nest has been out for a couple weeks now, and even thrash-metal fans agree that it's a legit thrash album and all that entails. I've been digging it. It's crazy how they cranked this album out in just a few months, an album completely different for them, while it took Tool 13 years to put out an album, a good one, but very similar to what they've done before.

Thrash, huh? I'll need to check this out!

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

I listened to the last two albums on Spotify last night and liked them enough to order the CDs.

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

New album is really good .. ordered pretty much all their albums last week (vinyl) .. been having a binge-a-thon. I will be sure to see them next time they come around.

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

King Gizzard's newest album, "KG", is now available on vinyl, and it's a follow-up to Flying Microtonal Banana, being "volume 2" of their microtonal series. Listened to it last night, and it's amazeballs!

They've already announced their next album, and volume 3 of the microtonal series, "LW".

They've also released a ton of live material. You can hear it all on their Bandcamp page, or if you want a cool vinyl of any of the shows, tons of indie vinyl publishers have been given the rights to lay them on wacky wax. Have fun!

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

New song from new album "Butterfly 3000" is really good!



Can't believe this is from the same band that was doing thrash-metal just a couple years ago, and psychedelic stuff just before that...

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

Even though this thread has slowed down, the Gizz have not!

They just announced their TWENTIETH album, Omnium Gatherum, a double album, no less (new, 18 minute song below).

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

I am trying to find Omnium Gatherum on CD online but can't find any listing. Is it vinyl only for now?

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

No CD, just vinyl and digital download is all (and the digital-download is taken form the needle-drop of the vinyl, so I don't think there's an actual digital master to make CD out of)

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

These fuckin' guys...

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

I've been slacking, but the Gizz has not been slacking!

They had a 5-night stand at Red Rocks, where they played a 3-hour set each night, and they did not repeat one song over the 5 nights.
You can hear it (or buy all 86 tracks for only $20) here, and it's incredible!
https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/alb...t-red-rocks-22

They went and put out a prog-metal album...
https://kinggizzard.bandcamp.com/alb...less-damnation

And this week sees the release of their synth/electronic album - it has two versions, one where the songs are 3 to 5 minutes long, and an extended version, same songs, but 10 to 20 minutes each.
What's cool, is that while it's stylistically opposite of their previous (prog-metal) album, it's intended to be the mirror image of that album, with each song aligned with it's counterpart on the other album, "answering" each other (track 1 on the metal album to track 7 on the synth album, and so on).

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

Unfortunately, my interest in the band went to zero once they stopped releasing albums on cd.

Re: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
 

I know it's not nearly the same, but you could burn their digital albums to CD (bandcamp offers loss-less wav-files as a download option)
But yeah, even though overall CD sales have plateaued, this band specifically must not be selling enough of them to justify putting them out on CD. If they did sell as well as their vinyl, of course they'd be putting them out. Stu himself has said that if you want the albums on CD, go ahead and bootleg them.
