Overview
- The band released the pounding title track Tuesday, giving the first full preview of the album’s four‑on‑the‑floor techno sound.
- Band members say every finished song grew out of a single hour‑long jam on their modular synth rig nicknamed Nathan, a process that shaped Alien Metal’s raw electronic textures.
- Longtime collaborator Jason Galea supplied glossy sci‑fi artwork and a visualizer centered on a metallic skull to match the album’s colder, hostile aesthetic.
- Alien Metal is slated for release later this summer on King Gizzard’s p(doom) label but the exact date remains unannounced.
- The band will present the new material live in a fall run of Australian dates beginning Oct. 13, continuing the rave‑style shows and late‑night sets that inspired the record.
