The Gizzverse (Vol. 8) - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s Music Video Lore

[@fatha2092]

These guys made albums so many, so fast that even analysts can't decypher album L.W. before Butterfly 3000 came out. Anyways, great video as always.

[@motioninart]

Tell me about it haha thanks mate

He still hastn finished lw and we already passed bf3k, got timeland and now a double album. Good luck catching up @motion in art

[@jpak8]

It's kind of ironic, the videos got longer when they became less "lore-dense." The polygondwanaland video was a fraction of this long 😂

[@ahealthkit2745]

I'd love to see another Gizzverse video covering the band's newer material, so much has come out now that I think could be fun to tie into older stuff. Especially with the rumours about Petrodragonic Apocalypse and The Silver Cord being related somehow. @@motioninart

[@madhatter9124]

Can't say just how much I appreciate these videos about my favorite band

[@motioninart]

Me too

[@addisonpilliard4668]

I can’t even describe how much I relate to these 13 words

[@deadheadfred896]

Sincerely appreciate this series and I hope you decide to continue it. KGLW have released so much since this video dropped so I know that is a huge work load however you're the perfect man for the task. You've provided easily the most comprehensive breakdowns of the gizzverse that I've come across and cannot wait to hear what you have to say of Butterfly 3000, OG, Timeland, IDPLML, Laminated Denim, and Changes. Again, I greatly appreciate your work so far!

[@jaybarrett629]

I just know that this man is gonna have a field day with Petro

[@xballonshopx]

I can't wait till vol 9! This series has completely changed my love for gizz to truly obsessed. By far the best music lore explanations I've ever seen! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK! 🙏

[@motioninart]

You’re extremely kind. Thank you. Means a lot

I just binged 1 - 8. Awesome job. Thank you! I look forward to 9 - ? !! ☺

Amazing video series! Would love to see the next part with more connections to Gaia, black skies, Petrodragonic, etc.

[@christianhegarty7463]

Just want to add to the appreciation of these videos! Ive watched them multiple time and always come away with something new. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making these. They are incredibly well made and have made me love Gizz even more

Great job so far bud! I wish I had a chronological list of the songs for a big listen.

Is volume 9 coming? Found this series and binged it immediately. Plenty of content to add

"Honey, wake up. A new Gizzverse Video was just uploaded."

[@maxmagnus377]

Discovered Gizz about 4 or 5 years ago when youtube randomly recommended Nonagon Infinity to me. I was really into Borderlands 2 at the time (those 2 go together like wine and cheese by the way) but I left it with that, putting that album on every once in a while. Then about 6 months ago I felt like diving more into their work, putting on a different album every couple weeks or so. There's a handful left that I have not heard fully yet, but I can already say that King Gizzard is one of those "one in a generation" bands. I'd never dug into the lyrics and meanings a lot but after binging your series I'm only reaffirmed in my feeling that this band is truly special. Phenomenal work on both their end and yours good sir!

[@motioninart]

Hey man, thanks for the message. I’ve heard good things from borderlands 2 but haven’t played it yet. From one gizz fan to another, I’m glad to share in the joy of this amazing band.

[@dropagear6607]

With all the new albums vol 9 is about to be wild I can’t get enough of this band and your Chanel fr fr

Just wanted to says a great thanks for all of those video on the Gizzverse you did an amazing job documenting on an amazing band so thank you

On the van during the animation “Latice” is written on the front I don’t know if it has any correlation to cyboogie with “Pistons and Pumps under graphine lattice” probably nothing but just pointing it out

[@Joel-ry6ol]

Cant wait for next vidz.. dropping any time soon? Thank you!

[@motioninart]

Thanks sexy. Nothing planned on the horizon in terms of Gizzverse yet but I’m sure we’re not done yet. I’m waiting for their full on rap reggae album

[@Ex0dia5]

I know its only been about three years since this last video came out. But King Gizzard are dropping another album this Friday. That'll be 9 new albums since this video. I would love to hear your take on all the albums released in the last 3 years. Keep up the good work.

[@motioninart]

Sorry for the late reply! It might be awhile until I cover a new gizz album (or ones that have past). It’s always in the back of my mind though.

[@Pyjama_S]

Can't wait for the Butterfly3000 analysis ;)

@motioninart Your gizzverse vids are amazing. I keep coming back to check for a new one, but alas. So much music has come out (B3K, timeland, demos 3 & 4, omnium) and is about to come out (ice death, lam denim, changes) since your KG & LW vids… is there any chance you can confirm or deny if additional gizzverse vids are in the works?? 🙏🙏🙏

i'm waiting to hear these next 3 albums for october for any more "definitive" or stronger lore connections. but it's definitely not dead. thanks for watching and re-watching - reallys means alot.

[@ryanpalmer9456]

Are you going to make another one of these? I never knew King Giz had lore until a couple days ago and I binged all of these tonight and would love the newer albums to explained. I do understand that videos take time to make but I was just curious if should keep my hopes up?

[@motioninart]

Yes and no. As it stands, I’ve got my focus set on other topics, partly to expand the growth of the channel and its topics that are currently more interesting to me. I also want to wait a bit to see if there’s more gizz lore because having said all that, I’ll always love the gizzverse and be interested in it Appreciate you binging these though ❤️

[@ChrisLeeW00]

I am only speculating, but I thought Infest the Rats Nest was supposed to be the last Gizzverse preplanned ending, but due to the pandemic, they decided they had more to say now.

[@_plsbekind]

I'm pretty sure they said somewhere, maybe a Reddit AMA that, Infest the Rat's Nest is a standalone album and not part of the overarching story,now called the Gizzverse.

❤️ That’s very kind of you to say, thank you. I’ve been loving all the new Gizz music this year. It’s been a blast. Definitely not the end of the series and I too am looking forward to more narrative lore content from them

[@El-Burrito]

The only thing I would want to comment on, is about Supreme Ascendancy. Sure, we can criticise our political and religious leaders for breaking the laws that we the plebs are expected to follow, but it's not like (especially amongst this audience) we're not also breaking laws by taking certain illegal substances. So while I sort of agree with the message you're giving, it's kind of a double edged sword and that makes me wonder...

[@El-Burrito]

Man I can't believe i left this piece of shit comment 5 months ago. Fuck me for saying that, after all it's been revelead Boris has been doing. Our political leaders can go fuck themselves!

[@Chizzle69420]

@@El-Burrito your comment never made sense anyway. Church leaders raping kids and people doing LSD at home aren't equivalent. Thing is, we at home get massive prison sentences when we get caught and they get a slap on the wrist.

[@harrisonhopkins3833]

amby introduced the song as being about “church” so i think it’s a dig towards not only people of power/governments/the elites but more specifically the corruption of the catholic church

[@ahealthkit2745]

supreme ascendancy is the literal title of the track. It's got lyrics distinctly about the church. Seems pretty straight forward to me, even before the video.

Could be

[@marcusfoley3347]

No, it is clearly and solely about pedophile priests. Possibly explicitly about the late Cardinal George Pell who infamously was accused of protecting priests in Australia and ended up being given a prime job in the Vatican.

[@thegetalifeclub9661]

The KGLW universe is an alternate/future reality where humanity's mistakes such as pollution have destroyed the world and forced the survivors of the apocalypse to search for a new home or become cyborgs to survive the harsh environment Earth has become. The majority of humanity never find a planet B to live on. Depressed about the state of humanity and Earth, the survivors attempt to end their meaningless existences or blot out the pain with drugs and eventually end up following Han Tyumi, a cyborg who creates a machine which destroys the universe by turning it to vomit. The "nonagon infinity" is described in an album by the same name as (generally) an endless loop of this event where the universe and humanity are doomed to destroy themselves forever
