King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: Infest The Rats' Nest (injection moulded PET vinyl) [CAROLINE]

Why you'll love it

The band's thrash metal record: Stu Mackenzie, Joey Walker and Michael Cavanagh as a power trio, writing about climate collapse and a doomed escape to Venus. It reached No. 2 in Australia and No. 64 on the Billboard 200, and it's back on injection-moulded PET vinyl.

This edition

• Injection-moulded PET vinyl
• Single LP
• 9 tracks

About the album

Side one is the near future, with "Planet B", "Mars For The Rich" and "Superbug" taking aim at the people wrecking the planet; side two follows rebels heading for Venus, and it ends, as these things do, in "Hell". It's fast, loud and riff-first, with the band's psych instincts still bubbling underneath.

An album about ecological disaster on a water-bottle-plastic pressing is the kind of joke the band would appreciate. It is also a Gizzard record you can safely recommend to your metal friends.
