Murder of the Universe

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

A three-part sci-fi horror triptych blending garage-psych with robotic narration. Dense, ugly, and relentlessly imaginative cosmic chaos.

June 23, 2017 · ATO Records

A relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.

Moments Worth Listening For

The relentless repetition of the Altered Beast motif that feels like being hunted through a dark wood.

The explosive transition where the Lord of Lightning's riffs collide with the Balrog's chaotic percussion.

The final descent into digital madness as Han-Tyumi describes the literal destruction of the cosmos.
