King Gizzard shares ‘Alien Metal’ title track

The psychedelic titans of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard are doing more than just spinning cosmic riffs; they are diving headfirst into the electrifying world of electronic dance music. Their latest offering, the album Alien Metal, is a stunning collision of their signature sound and the pulsing energy of rave culture.

This new work isn’t just another record; it’s an experimental journey born from the band’s unique approach to sound. The tracks on Alien Metal were meticulously crafted using their custom-built modular synthesizer, Norman, allowing the group to explore new sonic territories while retaining their distinct identity. It’s a masterful blend that manages to feel entirely familiar—a continuation of their microtonal rock and thrash roots—while simultaneously embracing full-blown electronic euphoria.

The album is set to arrive later this summer, though the exact release date remains under wraps, adding another layer of anticipation to the already legendary group. The title track alone promises a sonic explosion that perfectly encapsulates their ability to push boundaries and defy genre expectations.

As the band prepares for further action, they are gearing up for a major US run in August, kicking off with the Field of Vision festival in Colorado. Following this, they head to New York City for three nights at Forest Hills Stadium, where they will share the stage with Die Spitz and DJ Crenshaw. The schedule is packed, featuring high-energy rock alongside pure rave experiences.

The American leg includes dates on August 20th, August 21st, and August 23rd for rock shows, plus a dedicated rave show scheduled for August 24th at the K Bridge.

Beyond the US, King Gizzard is bringing their infectious energy to Australia in October 2026. Fans can look forward to several dates, including performances in Thirroul and Sydney, Melbourne, and even a late-night rave session in Sydney as they connect with local talent like .VIRL.

The Australian tour continues with events scheduled across various venues throughout October 2026, offering fans plenty of opportunities to experience the full spectrum of King Gizzard’s innovative sound, from their signature rock intensity to their experimental electronic flights.
