King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

You may recall Australia’s King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard released ”Plan B” which found them heading in a decidedly metal direction. Here’s more where that came from: “Self-Immolate” is another heavy shredder with an equally incendiary video.

Listen to new songs by Chromatics, Tunng, French Vanilla, Taylor Bennett and Chance the Rapper, Slaughter Beach Dog, and more.
