Personal Thoughts
I’ve been meaning to check these guys out for years and I’m glad I finally did. This was a really good listen, I’m excited to check out more of the band’s work. My favorite track was Loyalty.
This band was recommended to me because I like stoner rock and doom metal. I made the mistake of listening first to their album Butterfly 3000, which absolutely isn’t either of those things and it completely turned me off of them.
Then their most recent album came out and I realized that they’re just a really weird eclectic group. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’ve been meaning to check out some of their earlier music since then.
People have made entire flowcharts to guide people towards their ideal King gizzard album.
They are so prolific that they have something for everyone. It is important to find the right entry point though.
Their lastest album is more thrash than doom or stoner. I like all three of those genres, but if you are into the doomy kind of stuff they made an excellent track called “great chain of being”, which is my favorite track off of the album Gumboot Soup.
