Infest the Rats' Nest is the fifteenth studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. It was released on 16 August 2019 by the band's record label, Flightless, and ATO Records. The album sees the band using a heavy metal and thrash metal style, which they had only briefly touched upon on previous albums. Its lyrics address environmental themes such as climate change and ecological disaster through a cli-fi narrative involving space colonization.
The album received generally positive reviews, with critics highlighting the performances and themes, and was nominated for the 2019 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album. The album charted in several countries, including peaking at number 2 on the ARIA Charts and number 3 on US Independent Albums.
This is the band's last album with the drummer and manager Eric Moore (who for this album only contributed with the backing vocals), before his departure the following year https://www.nme.com/news/music/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-drummer-eric-moore-leaves-the-band-2736813
Background and release
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard released five albums in 2017, concluding with Gumboot Soup in December. Following a brief hiatus, on 21 January 2019 the band teased their fourteenth studio album, which would later be announced as Fishing for Fishies. Prior to its full release on 26 April 2019, the band surprise-released single "Planet B" on 8 April alongside a music video. The song's exclusion from the album's track listing and distinct sound led to speculation that the band might release a second album in 2019.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-new-song-planet-b-819510/|title=Hear King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's Metallic New Song 'Planet B'|last=Reed|first=Ryan|date=8 April 2019|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=27 June 2019|archive-date=27 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190627190903/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-new-song-planet-b-819510/|url-status=live}}
During a question-and-answer on 30 April with fans on Reddit, the band confirmed the next album was at an early stage of production and would include "Planet B", but they had not decided if it would be released in 2019. The album was speculated to be titled Auto-Cremate, the band's username on their Reddit Q&A.{{cite web|url=https://www.allthingsloud.com/king-gizzard-lizard-wizards-reddit-ama-learnt/|title=King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's Reddit AMA: What We Learnt|last=Parker|first=Jack|date=30 April 2019|website=All Things Loud|access-date=27 June 2019|archive-date=6 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806191503/https://www.allthingsloud.com/king-gizzard-lizard-wizards-reddit-ama-learnt/|url-status=live}}

Mackenzie's acquisition of a Gibson Explorer was also said to have inspired the heavier sound, and was used on every song on the album. Heavy metal guitar techniques are used throughout, such as shredding and chugging, in addition to the wah-wah and delay effects more typical of the band's style. As with other releases, unusual time signatures are present. The album makes consistent use of double kick drumming and harsh vocal delivery. "Superbug" has been described as a more downtempo stoner rock or sludge metal song than the rest of the track listing, and has been compared to the work of Sleep or Melvins. "Mars for the Rich" was compared by some reviewers to Black Sabbath, and "Perihelion" has been likened to power metal.

On the album's lyrical themes, frontman Stu Mackenzie explained that the A-side is about contemporary issues such as ecological disaster and climate change and is set in the near future, and the B-side follows a group of rebels attempting to colonise Venus after being forced to leave Earth.{{cite web|url=https://metalinjection.net/upcoming-releases/king-gizzard-the-lizard-wizard-announces-thrash-album-infest-the-rats-nest|title=King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Announces Thrash Album Infest The Rats' Nest|last=Kennelty|first=Greg|date=23 June 2019|website=Metal Injection|access-date=30 July 2019|archive-date=30 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190730105528/https://metalinjection.net/upcoming-releases/king-gizzard-the-lizard-wizard-announces-thrash-album-infest-the-rats-nest|url-status=live}} In this "cli-fi" narrative, the group eventually die and enter Hell.

Infest the Rats' Nest was well received by music critics upon its release. On the review aggregator website Metacritic, the album has a score of 77 out of 100 based on 14 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". In his review for AllMusic, writer Tim Sendra concluded that "King Gizzard aren't sugarcoating anything, either musically or thematically, and that makes for their most timely and political album yet. It's also one of their most musically compelling and impressive, too, and that's saying a lot." Stuart Berman in Pitchfork commended the album as the band's "most succinct and single-minded statement to date" and its themes and heavy metal performances, but also said that it was "lacking both the unpredictable detours of their biggest rock-outs and the insidious melodies of their more pop-focused work." A three out of five star NME review by Danii Leivers highlighted "Planet B" as a standout and compared it to Master of Puppets-era Metallica, but noted "as the album reaches its mid-section, the material does start to wear thin" and that not all of the tracks were memorable or cohesive.
In PopMatters, Callum Bains described Infest the Rats' Nest as "a brutal, fear-inducing harbinger of our impending existential doom as the band steps on the soapbox to paint the apocalyptic horror of the climate emergency". In Consequence, William Ruben Helms praised the musical performances and dark lyrical themes, and concluded that "while it feels like a minor misstep in comparison to much of their catalog, it finds the band crafting forceful and ferocious, mosh pit-friendly rippers that are politically and socially relevant."{{Cite web |last=Melis |first=Matt |date=2019-08-23 |title=Album Review: King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard Pay Homage to Thrash Titans on Infest the Rats' Nest |url=https://consequence.net/2019/08/album-review-king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-infest-the-rats-nest/ |access-date=2022-09-11 |website=Consequence |language=en-US}}
