King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
PetroDragonic Apocalypse or Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation
70‐‐90点相当
出だし、ストーナーロックの風合いから始まる。
(15thの Infest the Rats' Nest のメタルに回帰と書かれたりも)
ロックないろいろな要素を取り入れながら
無難にこなして、自分らのモノにしてしまうところは
ホントにすごい。
好きなアルバムだが、全体では、やや一本調子かも。

King Gizzard know how to tell a story – from their album marketing to their genre-flipping to the lyrical melodrama of various entries in their now 24-album strong catalogue. Occasionally, the two halves will line up as with 2016’s masterful breakthrough Nonagon Infinity. PetroDragonic Apocalypse, their latest, just about manages to strike a balance.
There’s no denying their broad talents: the Australian six-piece can tick off jazz, pastoral folk, experiments in microtonal tunings, surf rock and synth-pop alongside their more obvious garage-psych records. Here, they return to the thrash-metal of 15th album Infest the Rat’s Nest and show off their impressive technical proficiency. Album highlight ‘Gila Monster’s sticky chanted chorus is beastly in all the right ways, destined to become a mainstay of their mammoth live sets, while ‘Witchcraft’ uses irregular rhythms to contort note-perfect thrash into something more fascinating. Blast beats, chugging riffs and droning vocals reflect the band’s deep interest and genuine respect for the genre throughout.
