| | Description: | A concept album to end all concepts, ??Murder Of The Universe?? by head-bending psychedelicists King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
??Murder Of The Universe?? is a face-melting musical assault concerned with the downfall of man, the death of the planet....the murder of the whole goddamn universe.
??We??re living in dystopian times that are pretty scary and it??s hard not to reflect that in our music,? says front man Stu Mackenzie. ??It??s almost unavoidable. Some scientists predict that the downfall of humanity is just as likely to come at the hands of Artificial Intelligence, as it is war or viruses or climate change. But these are fascinating times too. Human beings are visual creatures ?? vision is our primary instinct, and this is very much a visual, descriptive, bleak record. While the tone is definitely Apocalyptic, it is not necessarily purely a mirror of the current state of humanity. It??s about new non-linear narratives.?
The first eight tracks of ??Murder Of The Universe?? alone sees songs doing battle with one another (??Altered Beast?? Pts I to IV and ??Alter Me?? Pts I to III), as man, beast and automaton collide in a death grapple. Flesh and bone meets mud and metal as the listener is treated to funereal fugue pieces (??Some Context??), primordial drone-sludge (??The Reticent Raconteur??), demonic doom-chants (??The Floating Fire??), cyborg-narrated kosmiche workouts (??Han Tyumi, The Confused Cyborg??) and technicolour Outback proto-metal (??Vomit Coffin??). - AND THE LIZARD WIZARDLimited vomit splatter colored vinyl LP pressing includes digital download. 2017 release. A concept album to end all concepts, Murder Of The Universe is the new collection by head-bending psychedelicists King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Murder Of The Universe is a face-melting musical assault concerned with the downfall of man, the death of the planet... The murder of the whole goddamn universe. A disorientating experience, the album hinges on three distinct chapters that rise from larval beds, and whose lyrics should be carved in stone, squeezed from moss, discovered in ancient runes. And all the while a passing cast of characters imbue the tale with both human and non-human emotions.Regular US pressing, Vomit Splatter edition. "Transparent swamp green vinyl with heavy opaque olive green and mustard splatter".
Includes a 30-page illustrated story book, and download card.
