Album Overview: It only took them 26 tries, but King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard finally made an album that clearly follows in the footsteps of fellow Aussie rockers AC/DC. Well, not really—but Flight b741 is one of the band’s most straightforward rock records to date. It follows on the heels of last year’s stylistic detours, the thrash metal ecological concept album PetroDragonic Apocalypse; and The Silver Cord, a guitar-less progressive electronic album released in two different versions (a standard edition and extended mix).

Megafauna reveals that Belfast’s And So I Watch You From Afar are more concerned with growth than growing up. Case in point: the Northern Irish quartet took a sledgehammer to preconceived notions about their sound last time out with Jettison, surfacing in early 2022 after the project initially hit the skids due to the pandemic. It may be jokingly referred to by the band as their “mature” record, but it acted as a sonic reset for them; by dint of being a primarily instrumental band, playing music deemed “cinematic” is part of their job description, so exploring those tendencies with a single-segment, multi-movement piece of music they performed in a live setting backed by a string quartet worked as well in theory as in practice.

We can argue all day long about who invented heavy metal. But there’s no denying that Black Sabbath largely shaped the genre. Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne banded together to form the legendary quartet in 1968. Four months after releasing their self-titled debut album, the Birmingham, England boys were back in the studio for a follow-up record. Originally written as an afterthought, “Paranoid” became both the title track and the band’s signature song. And 54 years ago today, on Aug. 7, 1970, the world heard it for the first time.
