Since their inception in 2013, South Wales-based psychedelic heavy rockers, LACERTILIA have built up a solid reputation through their energetic live shows and relentless gigging, having already shared the stage with the likes of Karma To Burn, Elder, Trippy Wicked, Bloody Hammers, Sir Admiral Cloudesley Shovell, Peter Pan Speedrock and countless others. With an EP and two UK tours under their belt, LACERTILIA are now ready to unleash their first full length album, We're Already Inside Your Mind.
We're Already Inside Your Mind was recorded at One Louder Studios in Newport by Phillip Smith (Hogslayer, Haasts Eagled), and mastered by Joe Gibb (Jane's Addiction, Depeche Mode). Intent on capturing their live sound in the studio - a mix of primal rock n roll energy, heavy psychedelia and sludgy groove rock, with nods to proto-punk, 60's psych, 70's heavy rock, the free festival movement and contemporary stoner and doom - LACERTILIA have created a rich melting pot of sonic indulgence that takes the listener on a journey.
The album's main theme centres around the human brain, a prison for the psyche which has been subdued by modern technology and law and order. LACERTILIA are personified as wise elders, here to help the inhabitants of planet Earth to see things as they really are. The cosmic vibrations and messages within their music are designed to make mankind face its fears, strip away the layers of mental conditioning bestowed upon us and ultimately reveal the power and utmost truth that lies within us all.
We're Already Inside Your Mind is scheduled for release through Red Sun Sounds on 29 July, 2016 via Bandcamp. The album is available to pre-order HERE. To celebrate the release of their debut album, LACERTILIA will be playing a series of shows throughout July, warming up with a performance at Hellfest in June.
