KING GIZZARD & THE LIZZARD WIZARD have today shared ‘Kill For The Steel,’ the latest single to be taken from their forthcoming 28th album, Alien Metal, which will be released on p(doom) records.
The Melbourne based 6-piece have previously released ‘Level 5’ and ‘Alien Metal’ from the album. Created and recorded using the modular synthesizer setup the band brought with them during last year’s ‘rave shows’-a system they named ‘Nathan’-the album sees them exploring the darker side of electronic dance music.
Never ones to musically stand still and following explorations of everything from prog-fringed thrash metal, primitive synth-rock, down-home jam-rock hoedowns and feelgood symphonic rock on recent albums, Alien Metal grew out of last year’s ‘rave shows’ where traditional instruments were abandoned as the band gathered around an expansive modular synthesiser setup each making their own manipulations to create a mind-altering whole. And what began as an experiment soon became an obsession, inspiring one of the band’s most ambitious records to date.
