Album Review: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Infest The Rats’ Nest

There was a time when hard rock and heavy metal bands were prolific to the extent of releasing a new full-length album every year, a time when quantity matched quality and it was not one or the other. That time is long gone, as touring has become a necessity to drive sales, and for a majority of bands it takes anywhere between 2 and 4 years to come up with a new album, as most of them attempt to cope with the challenges of balancing the touring and creative cycles, striving to find the time, space and inspiration to create new music.

Ticket Giveaway: PPL MVR @ Lodge Room Highland Park

Aptly described by many as “the weirdest band in the world”, PPL MVR is raw, primal rock ‘n roll at its trippiest, psycho-delic best. As hard as it is to describe this band to someone who has not seen or heard them, it is just as easy to enjoy a PPL MVR concert. On Thursday July 18, the band is performing at the release party for their new album The Chosen, at Lodge Room Highland Park, along with local support acts Bysts and Mtn Tmr. You see, they have an aversion to vowels but an affinity to killer bands. Metal Assault is hosting and curating this event, and we also have free tickets, just for you.
