Overview
King Gizzard’s ‘PetroDragonic Apocalypse’ is an unrelenting journey that plunges listeners into Heavy Metal chaos, and is drenched in storytelling and sonic experimentation. Known for their ever-evolving sound and fearless genre exploration, the band fully embraces their Progressive Metal persona, delivering thunderous riffs and apocalyptic soundscapes that are truly exhilarating. Equally impressive is the conceptual storytelling woven throughout the record - an exploration of environmental collapse and cosmic doom, wrapped within a fantastical narrative. The album follows a storyline about an apocalyptic world where humanity’s greed for fossil fuels awakens a dragon-like entity to wreak havoc on the planet - It’s cool as f*ck. This dark, unhinged odyssey proves that King Gizzard continues to evolve in unexpected and thrilling ways.
Recommended for anyone looking to mosh to tunes about the environmental collapse of Earth.

It’s close to perfect for a post-apocalyptic Prog-Metal album - a giant dragon monster beginning its annihilation and reclamation of a dying planet Earth. It’s striking and completely encapsulates the album. Long live the Gila Monster!
