King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's 'Kill For The Steel' continues generating fresh coverage today following its release as the latest preview of Alien Metal.
The track finds the prolific Australian group embracing modular electronics and hard techno rather than another variation on their guitar-heavy psychedelic sound.
Alien Metal's eight-song track list includes 'Sapience', 'Alien Metal', 'Superheavy Supercritical', 'Level 5', 'Rapid Alpha Decay' and 'Atomic Collapse', though the band are still maintaining some mystery around the full release.
King Gizzard's ability to pivot from rock instrumentation into deliberately synthetic club music reinforces why their catalogue remains so difficult to predict nearly thirty albums into their career.
