Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava is the 21st studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, released on 7 October 2022 on KGLW.
Initially inspired by the collective writing, recording and editing of the 18-minute track, "The Dripping Tap", from the band's previous studio album, Omnium Gatherum (2022), Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava was mostly recorded over the space of a week, with the six band members improvising in a different musical key and tempo each day.[2]
Described as the most "collaborative" King Gizzard album to date,[2] lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Stu Mackenzie noted: "All we went in with was a tempo, a key signature, and a title. There was nothing else—no riffs, no melodies, nothing like that. We just went in there and picked up instruments and said, 'Let's go.'"[2]
At the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated and won the award for Best Rock Album.[3]
