-CD contains 30-page booklet
A concept album to end all concepts, Murder Of The Universe is the new collection by head-bending psychedelicists King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Murder Of The Universe is a face-melting musical assault concerned with the downfall of man, the death of the planet....the murder of the whole goddamn universe.
A disorientating experience, the album hinges on three distinct chapters 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.

Damian CollinsJuly 10, 2017King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Murder of the Universe CD is a fantastic piece of physical and audio art. It is a great addition to anyone's collection of music. The purchase process and shipping speed were both very acceptable and enjoyable. Please put all of KGATLW's music catalog in your merch, I WOULD BUY ALL OF IT. Thank you.

IkeJune 30, 2017There's been nothing like this album in all of the annals of prog rock, Krautrock, garage rock, or any of KGATLW's catalog of influences. Hugely narratively driven, this is the heaviest album the band has put out yet. I was especially impressed with Ambrose Kenny-Smith's work on keyboards in addition to his stellar harmonica playing, as always. My favorite part was Chapter 3, Han-Tyumi and the Murder of the Universe.
