This is the first of the three albums they will release in October 2022. Absolute madness indeed. But King Gizz isn't only prolific. They also are musically excellent and eclectic.

Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava gives us 7 long tracks. The shortest is Lava at 6'41". The longest is Hell's Itch at 13'27". They sound jammy and jazzy. And the flute has a prominent place.

Mycelium - Nice jammy session to open the album with great guitar and flute passages. 7.5/10

Ice V - One of the highlights for me. Gotta love the bass here. But don't rule out the rest of the payers! 8.5/10

Magma - Another great track that builds and builds 8.5/10

Lava is a song that starts quietly with an atmosphere. When we hit the 4-minute mark, the guitar comes in and brings more power. The percussion and flute are the stars here. It's a very intriguing track. 9/10

Hell's Itch is the longest song of the album. Another atmospheric one with the bass having a prominent place. The flute that comes in later also is beautiful. An excellent driving track that ends up with a jamming session. It might be a bit long though. Though I like the a-cappella ending. 8/10

Iron Lung - I LOVE the ripping guitar. 8.5/10

Gliese 710 - This is a great closer to the album. The guitar, the flute, the drums, the bass. All so nicely done! 8/10

This is a killer album. 4 stars for me. But I'm a fan :-)
