Their aptly titled third album »Transcend« sees Lacertilia refining their explosive heavy rock sound by weaving the massive riffs and spaced-out explorations they are revered for with darker and more intricate textures of folk, prog, and post-rock. The result is a heavier, enthralling 10-tracker that charts a course through themes of profound personal growth and transformation, grappling with the nature of reality, existential dread, the breakdown of relationships, and the future of mankind. Watch their breathtaking latest video for »The Sun Is The Key«!
About »Weird Scenes«, the band comments: “Imagine living your life over and over again, learning from your mistakes as you go, spiritually evolving over countless eons and eventually ascending to the higher astral plains, only to be kidnapped by outer-dimensional soul snatchers as soon as you got there. Imagine that this was in fact, a short snippet from an infinite series of nightmare scenarios conjured up by a malfunctioning artificial intelligence. Imagine that the singularity has already happened, life isn’t real and you are actually trapped inside a simulation? With nods to 60’s psychedelia and 70s riff rock, this track is far-out, fun-filled, heavy, trippy and groovy.”
The band will be celebrating the album release with special shows at Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff on October 24th (tickets) and The Gryphon in Bristol on October 25th (tickets).
New album »Transcend« out October 24th on Majestic Mountain Records
Lacertilia stand out as a fearless blend of psychedelic soul and heavy riff warfare, rooted in their Welsh stoner rock identity but unafraid to draw from cosmic textures, primal energy, and punk-inspired vigour. For the past decade, Cardiff’s Lacertilia has been a formidable force in the UK’s heavy psychedelic sphere, forging a reputation as purveyors of high-energy, cosmic rock.
They have seamlessly bridged the worlds of underground punk, metal, and stoner rock, delivering their high-energy cosmic sermons everywhere from DIY stages to hallowed European festival grounds like Hellfest in France, Freak Valley in Germany, Desertfest London and their biggest headline show to date: the 10th anniversary show in Cardiff in 2024.
Their recorded journey maps this evolution: from the explosive arrival of their 2015 debut EP »Crashing Into The Future« through their 2016 LP »We’re Already Inside Your Mind« and the raw power of the »Live at Hellfest« EP, to the lockdown-forged introspection of their 2020 sophomore album, »Calling The Quarters«.
