Description Hide Show “Chunky Shrapnel” is a live album by the Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. Released on April 24, 2020, the album captures the raw energy and eclectic sound of the band’s 2019 European tour. The album is named after a lyric from their song “Murder of the Universe,” and it serves as both a live album and a soundtrack to the concert film of the same name, directed by John Angus Stewart. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, known for their prolific output and genre-hopping tendencies, have once again demonstrated their versatility and musicianship with “Chunky Shrapnel.” The album features live renditions of tracks from various points in their discography, showcasing their ability to blend different styles and create a cohesive live experience. The album opens with “Evil Star,” a track that immediately sets the tone with its driving rhythm and intense energy. The live version of this song captures the band’s ability to create a powerful atmosphere, with Stu Mackenzie’s vocals cutting through the mix and the band’s tight instrumentation providing a solid foundation. One of the standout tracks on the album is “The River,” a song originally from their 2015 album “Quarters!” The live version of this track is extended, allowing the band to explore different musical ideas and showcase their improvisational skills. The interplay between the band members is evident, with each musician contributing to the overall sound and creating a dynamic performance. “Planet B,” a track from their 2019 album “Infest the Rats’ Nest,” is another highlight. The song’s heavy, thrash-metal-inspired sound is perfectly captured in the live setting, with the band’s high-energy performance bringing the track to life. The aggressive guitar riffs and pounding drums are complemented by Mackenzie’s intense vocals, making for a powerful and memorable performance. The album also features a medley of songs from their 2017 album “Murder of the Universe,” including “Altered Beast I,” “Alter Me III,” and “Altered Beast IV.” This medley showcases the band’s ability to seamlessly transition between different musical ideas and create a cohesive narrative within their live performances. The intricate arrangements and complex time signatures are executed flawlessly, demonstrating the band’s technical prowess and tight musicianship. “Chunky Shrapnel” also includes some quieter moments, such as the track “Loyalty,” which provides a contrast to the more intense songs on the album. The live version of this track highlights the band’s ability to create a sense of intimacy and emotion, even in a live setting. The delicate instrumentation and heartfelt vocals create a poignant and memorable performance. The album closes with “A Brief History of Planet Earth,” a medley that includes excerpts from several of the band’s songs, including “Rattlesnake,” “Gamma Knife,” and “Cellophane.” This medley serves as a fitting conclusion to the album, encapsulating the band’s diverse sound and their ability to create a cohesive live experience. The transitions between the different songs are seamless, and the band’s energy never wanes, making for a powerful and satisfying ending to the album.
