The album follows the release of &#8216;Flying Microtonal Banana,&#8217; which came out in February this year.\u00a0The album was recorded at Flightless HQ in East Brunswick, Melbourne Australia in early 2017 and produced by the band&#8217;s Stu Mackenzie.<\/p>\n<p>The band have also unveiled an epic 13-minute film to &#8216;Chapter 3: Han-Tyumi And The Murder Of The Universe&#8217; directed by long time collaborator Jason Galea.<\/p>\n<p>Lit by thunderclaps and lightning, &#8216;Murder Of The Universe&#8217; inhabits a sonic landscape of death, decay, ossification, fossilisation, rebirth. It is a place occupied by wandering shape-shifting beasts, bleeding skies, pools of blood, great fires and mushroom clouds; a planet rent asunder by conflict.<\/p>\n<p>A disorientating experience, the album hinges on three distinct sections that rise from larval beds, and whose lyrics should be carved in stone, squeezed from moss, discovered in ancient runes. And all the while a passing cast of characters imbue the tale with both human and non-human emotions.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4zUPTPlkqDg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/heavenlyrecordings.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=0902200b1a386cd1711f82a40&amp;id=2483bfcedc&amp;e=3e1a47dff3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"mcnImage alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/0902200b1a386cd1711f82a40\/images\/2d33b062-4023-4fae-92d8-30f7a8a1d2a9.jpg?resize=438%2C438&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard Murder Of The Universe cover\" width=\"438\" height=\"438\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Tracklisting<\/h5>\n<p>A New World<br \/>\nAltered Beast I<br \/>\nAlter Me I<br \/>\nAltered Beast II<br \/>\nAltered Me III<br \/>\nAlter Beast III<br \/>\nAlter Me III<br \/>\nAltered Beast IV<br \/>\nLife \/ Death<br \/>\nSome Context<br \/>\nThe Reticent Raconteur<br \/>\nThe Lord Of Lightning (Pt 1)<br \/>\nThe Lord Of Lightning (Pt 2)<br \/>\nThe Balrog<br \/>\nThe Floating Fire<br \/>\nThe Acrid Corpse<br \/>\nWelcome To An Altered Universe<br \/>\nDigital Black<br \/>\nHan-Tyumi, The Confused Cyborg<br \/>\nSoy-Protein Munt Machine<br \/>\nVomit Coffin<br \/>\nMurder Of The Universe&lt;<\/p>\n<h5>Pre-orders<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/heavenlyrecordings.us3.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=0902200b1a386cd1711f82a40&amp;id=5f9925d66d&amp;e=3e1a47dff3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HVNLP140X &#8211; Glow in the dark vinyl edition with scratch and sniff sticker &amp; booklet<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/heavenlyrecordings.us3.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=0902200b1a386cd1711f82a40&amp;id=8c8d160401&amp;e=3e1a47dff3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HVNLP140 &#8211; Standard black vinyl editon with booklet<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/heavenlyrecordings.us3.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=0902200b1a386cd1711f82a40&amp;id=0aa1a861b8&amp;e=3e1a47dff3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HVNLP140CD &#8211; CD edition with booklet<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/heavenlyrecordings.us3.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=0902200b1a386cd1711f82a40&amp;id=a6384718a6&amp;e=3e1a47dff3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital pre-orders<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard have announced their new album &#8216;Murder Of The Universe,&#8217; which will be out\u00a0on June 23rd via Heavenly Recordings.
