The band not too long ago launched their twenty fifth studio album, The Silver Cord, which noticed them take their experimental output into a brand new territory, with an digital album.
As an indicator of simply how exploratory they’ve been with their sound, their earlier album PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation (sure, that was its title) was a thrash metallic file.
The band have been not too long ago introduced as headliners for subsequent 12 months’s Wide Awake Festival which, along side 5 different introduced reveals, will mark the primary time the band have toured the UK since 2019.

In our four-star evaluation of The Silver Cord, whynow wrote: “You can solely gawp in awe on the band’s insatiable want to discover unknown territories, and The Silver Cord is one other welcome addition to the ‘Gizz-Verse’.
“Though it’s certainly not a gateway album into their oeuvre by any means, treat it like an insight into their freewheeling, genre-mashing nature, and you’ll quickly learn to love it. Then, give the 90-minute extended version a punt.”
