The band confirms a December 4 release alongside two North American tour legs.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will release their new album, Entropy, on December 4. This project serves as a companion to Alien Metal, continuing the group’s Eurorack synthesizer explorations. Frontman Stu Mackenzie noted that while the band initially planned to release both records simultaneously, Entropy required more time to develop as a standalone work. Technical distinctions define the two projects; Alien Metal features tracks at 143bpm in F sharp, while Entropy increases the tempo to 160bpm in the key of A. The eight-track album includes the lead single “Rogue Wave.” To support the release, the band scheduled two North American tours for August and October. The itinerary includes stops at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, The Gorge Amphitheatre in Quincy, and The Caverns in Grundy County. The 2027 tour dates also span major venues in Vancouver, Toronto, and Chicago.
The technical shift from 143bpm to 160bpm demonstrates how specific mathematical constraints can differentiate companion records. Mackenzie’s decision to delay the release shows the importance of allowing a project to simmer until it establishes a distinct identity.
