Paste Magazine loves the horror of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s “Murder of the Universe”

Paste Magazine June 20, 2017

“Obvious comparisons can be made to any number of hard rock heroes from decades past: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Iron Maiden and other outfits that built their brand based on sinister intent and sonic excess.
