Concept Album - Tumblr Posts
Anybody else ever hear of something and then go look for it, and when you find it, you wish you found it sooner. Like, who would have imagined Christopher Lee would make not one but multiple metal albums.
I’m listening to The Tower and it’s so good?
the whole concept is great but beside it I really appreciate levels of surreal.
I Could Never climb the tower
Even if I was in stronger more resilient body
The whole
“what are you doing”
Already echoing in my brain
On Repeat
“What Are You Doing?”
Yeah trying to run from life
(Cowardly)
Yeah (not) listening to existential crisis
Just… no words honestly. This series has a fucking chokehold on me and I’m not even mad about it. Thank you to this amazing and talented man and all of the artists who sang for these songs and who drew the concept art/ animations.
(P.S.: Added the new album and the redesigns of the first two albums.)

I DO I’M CELEBRATING THE THUNDER SAGA RELEASE!!!!!!
SONG OF THE DAY
Day #6
Welcome to the cult that is the Gizzverse because today's song is Dreams by the Australian genre collecting group King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Dreams is a joyous synth-pop track that glides the listener into a bright odyssey of sound. This song was featured in their 2021 album Butterly 3000 and curates a dreamy, flowing, and uplifting experience using an evolving synth loop. Produced during the pandemic, member Stu Mackenzie stated the album “.. was an escape for us and for me… I'm just going to go live in my fantasy land and make fucking synth loops for a while... We've made a lot of records that are scary. This one isn't.” That desire to generate and indulge in light-hearted soundscapes is felt in the track, and I can't help but smile while listening to it and the rest of the album, it's become one of my happy places.
“I only wanna wake up in my dream
I only feel awake in the night
I only wanna wake up in my dream
I only feel tired in the day”
P.S. A bit about the King Gizz boys: they are quickly becoming Australian alternative music icons, known for their genre-jumping (from metal to jazz to more) and massive library of releases (currently 26 albums, five in 2022 alone). They really do have something for everyone and they have an amazing community of fans. A King Gizz concert was one of my first pits, and despite the heatstroke from that experience, I will always adore them.
