King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announce their new double LP album, PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation, out June 16th on KGLW, and present its lead single/video, “Gila Monster.” PetroDragonic Apocalypse, King Gizzard’s 24th album, is where the moon becomes full and their gnarly lycanthrope-selves take control again. It is the group’s second album-length excursion into thrash — following 2019’s Infest The Rats’ Nest — though, as you might expect from such a relentlessly creative unit, PetroDragonic Apocalypse is no mere retread of Rats’ Nest’s gory glories, but rather a full evolutionary step all its own.
Lead single, “Gila Monster” is a first-glimpse at PetroDragonic Apocalypse’s high-octane thrash greatness. The accompanying video was directed by SPOD, who explains: “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, modeling & live footage in a 3D video game program to create this marvelous voyage of man & beast. Friend or foe?” King Gizzard’s US Residency Tour begins in two week!
