This is funny, but if you don't get it, go listen to king gizzard and the lizard wizard, they're amazing y'all

They have something for everybody

Psychedelic rock
Metal
Soft electronic
Puking cyborgs
Cowboys
Vegemite
Microphone deepthroating

Yep, and I it’s not uncommon they have it all within one song.

Yeah if you don't like something, just listen to the next album, it'll be completely different. My favorite KGLW trivia tidbit is that in 2019 they were nominated for ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) music awards for both best heavy Metal/Rock Album and also best blues &roots album. Just 2 years after being nominated for best jazz album.

Also I hadn't seen the microphone deepthroat and that's great 😂

I definitely love them and never knew this so thanks! I also never knew they had a jazz album? I guess I gotta go back and search. Went half way across the country last year to see them at a festival and I was not disappointed. I have seen a lot of live shows in the past 20 years and they may be one of the best that's out there right now. Great show!

It's a $50 bootleg shirt of the psychedelic rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, who recently released their 4th album in less than 9 months, a progressive thrash metal EP named "PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation"

I'm not being sarcastic, should definitely check them out.

You forgot to add ‘and it’s fucking fantastic’.

Yes, but is it an ALTERED WOO, a hungry wolf of fate woooOOOooooo, or a more lightheaded Iron Lung woo?

Evil death roll now

Ah, obviously it would be something metal. Metal bands are just so damn funny

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they aren't just metal though, emphasis on the 'progressive.' they are incredibly prolific and bend genres

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They're barely metal. 1/12 of their albums are metal. Australia must have one hell of a psych scene though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

just the Petrodragonic Apocalypse and Infest the Rats' Nest albums are metal, but their catalogue includes microtonal music, garage rock, prog rock, synth pop, boogie, electronic music, rap, jazz, and more. If you are interested, the album called Omnium Gatherum dives into various genres.

Don't forget folk ballad (eyes like the sky) (not sure that's the official genre but it's the best i can think of)

Spoken word spaghetti western

Love me some Gizz, my all time favourite band. I hope we get a KGatLW fedi community at some point

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've subbed to 2 of them, .ml and .world

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh nice! I'll see if I can find them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Fair enough! Thanks for the in depth explanation!!

"Anon, a giant monster roams Creature of magic, not of home He didst gobble each hag he found Screams didst echo, a chilling sound With every wiccan he did devour He'll grow in strength, in size and power Until one day upon his back He'll sprout wings, a fearsome pack"
