King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard just won’t let the fun come to an end. The Melbourne-based seven-piece have just announced the release of their second new album of 2019, set to hit shelves on Aug. 16 via ATO Records.
Titled Infest The Rats’ Nest, the band’s 15th studio effort is described as their “hardest and heaviest” record to date. A departure in sound from February’s neo-psych release Fishing For Fishes, the forthcoming album finds the band taking on thrash metal and pulling inspiration from the genre’s mid/late-1980s golden era.
The album will include the band’s newest singles, “Planet B” and “Self-Immolate,” both of which showcase the band’s new heavy sonic territory. You can preorder the album via ATO starting on July 9.
The band will embark on a North American tour in August in support of Infest The Rats’ Nest. You can check out those dates down below.
Seeing that the band released five albums in 2017, this certainly isn’t the last release we’ll be expecting from King Gizzard this year.
