King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard came out of 2022 with 5 brand-new albums, and the respected Australian psych-rockers already have another brand-new one en route. They revealed their 24th studio album in an Instagram post: It’s called PetroDragonic Apocalypse; Or, Dawn Of Eternal Night: An Annihilation Of Planet Earth And The Beginning Of Merciless Damnation and pre-orders for the album start on May 16, though they haven’t divulged a release date right now.
The album art work was developed by long time visual partner Jason Galea, and in an Instagram comment the band offered a description: “It’s a vivid, fiery painting of a lizard like monster in an industrial, apocalyptic landscape.” In a tweet a couple weeks earlier, they explained their next album as “heavy as fuck.”
