* ''PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation'' (2023)

* EpicRocking: Most of their songs, though "Rattlesnake", "Open Water", and all of the tracks on Quarters! are notable examples.

-->[[ContemplateYourHands My hands are disappearing]]

* MushroomSamba: As one would expect from a psychedelic garage rock band [[Main/WidgetSeries from Australia]] there are some really weird sights described in their discography. Hats off for a soy protein [[InsistentTerminology munt]] machine that can engulf the entire universe not only spatially but at all points in time as well.

* BigBrotherIsWatching: Combined with UsefulNotes/ConspiracyTheory on the first four tracks of ''I'm in Your Mind Fuzz''.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The band used this exact term to describe Laminated Denim in regards to Made in Timeland. Both are thirty minute albums consisting of two fifteen minute tracks built around a consistent, ticking, 60 BPM, with time as a thematic element, whose titles are anagrams. However, while Timeland is a nearly entirely instrumental mix of world music, electronic, and a bit of rap, Denim takes a motorik, polyrhythmic, krautrock form, with more vocals and guitars, though some electronic elements are still present. The recording process for each other also contrast, with Timeland being mostly individually recorded bits that Stu later mixed together as coherent tracks, while Denim was created via extended jam sessions featuring all six members.

* GenreRoulette: Garage rock? Check. SpaghettiWestern-inspired rock? Check. Psychedelic rock? Check. Acoustic folk? Check. New prog? Check. Experimental acid rock? Check. Prog metal? Check. Jazz rock? Check. Boogie rock? Check. Thrash metal? Check. It gets to the point where ''every album'' of theirs is a NewSoundAlbum, and it's ''glorious''.

Nonagon infinity- [[MetalScream AAAHHHHH!!]]''

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is an Australian PsychedelicRock and GarageRock band. They were formed in 2010 in Melbourne, and they consist of members Stu Mackenzie (vocals, guitar, wind instruments), Ambrose Kenny Smith (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Cook Craig (guitar), Joey Walker (guitar and vocals), Lucas Skinner (bass), Eric Moore (drums 2010-2020), and Michael Cavanagh (drums). They probably rank among the [[Main/WidgetSeries weirdest bands to ever come out of the Australian psych-rock scene.]]

* Ambrose Kenny Smith - harmonica, keyboards, synthesizer, vocals

Their twentieth album, ''Omnium Gatherum'', was announced on March 8, 2022, alongside its first track "The Dripping Tap." It had two other singles, "Magenta Mountain" and "Kepler-22b". The album was released on April 22, 2022 and is their longest album yet with a diverse sound. On September 7, 2022, they announced ''three'' new albums to be released in October, matching their 2017 record of five albums in one year: ''Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava'', ''Laminated Denim'', and ''Changes''.

*** Ditto for both tracks on ''Laminated Denim''-"The Land Before Timeland" and "Hypertension"-since the album is a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Made in Timeland''

* MetalScream: Stu Mackenzie's unmistakable "''OOOOOOO''WWHHH!"

** Part of Robot Stop's solo incorporates Hot Water's melody
** The cover artwork for I'm In Your Mind Fuzz, Nonagon Infinity and Murder of the Universe all feature the same mountainous landscape, with several elements from the former two's being in a decayed, vomit-covered state on the latters.
** The Lord of Lightning vs. Balrog has this all over, starting with a snippet of People-Vultures, Nonagon Infinity being said several times in the first half, Lord of Lightning's outro incorporating multiple elements from I'm in Your Mind, same with The Balrog's outro to Trapdoor. The Balrog also contains a face-melting riff built from a combination of bits from People-Vultures and Evil Death Roll.
** Both K.G.'s version of K.G.L.W. and the microtonal section of Timeland have the same blowing wind effect heard at multiple points during Flying Microtonal Banana, namely during Rattlesnake and the title track.
** From Butterfly 3000, Dreams specifically calls back The Castle in the Air, while Ya Love's video is a treasure trove of little references and call-backs, with the Nonagon-era's multi colored sages being brought back as astronauts, the Fishing for Fishies sign being briefly seen submerged in a puddle, a physical appearance by The Castle in the Air, as well as a tree-monster with a head beneath its shoulders, calling back a lyric from TCITA
** From Omnium Gatherum, Magenta Mountain features a lyrical call back to Blue Morpho ("clouds of glue, anamnesis crashing though"), Evilest Man has a backing synth line taken from Cyboogie, Predator X sneaks in a brief return of the Perihelion riff, and The Funeral ending with the tick of clock, even fading perfectly into Made in Timeland's songs.

* CrapsackWorld: Earth in "Infest the Rats' Nest" has transformed into a dying planet where the only form of nutrition is human corpses. When a group of rebels attempt to find a new home on Venus and fail, they return to earth to find that it has turned into the biblical description of hell.

* LastNoteNightmare: Paper Mâché, the last song of the album Paper Mâché Dream Balloon, is a gentle instrumental melody of the rest of the album rendered in flutes and guitars. The last third of it is the rest of the song played backwards and sped up, like a rewinding tape, before ending with a deafening BOOM sound effect.

* MeaningfulName: Quarters! (each of the albums four songs are ten minutes, ten seconds in length, therefore each a quarter of the album) and Nonagon Infinity (Nine songs that fade into each other, including the end into the beginning, theoretically allowing it to continue infinitely with no breaks)

* TickTockTune: Made in Timeland, where the entire album is built around a consistent, ticking beat.

Their twentieth album, ''Omnium Gatherum'', was announced on March 8, 2022, alongside its first track "The Dripping Tap." It had two other singles, "Magenta Mountain" and "Kepler-22b". The album was released on April 22, 2022 and is their longest album yet with a diverse sound.

The band has a lot of time on their hands, and since 2012, they have recorded ''[[ArchivePanic twenty]]'' studio albums, five official live albums, and four EPS, [[NewSoundAlbum each of which have different sounds]], while still sticking to their roots and trademark songwriting motifs. In 2013, they recorded the SpaghettiWestern-inspired ''Eyes Like the Sky'', and the album ''Float Along - Fill Your Lungs'', where they went full Psychedelic. They became rather popular in 2014, where they released ''Oddments'' and ''I'm In Your Mind Fuzz'', where they would start to become more professional.
