This double-LP live album features 13 live performances hand-picked from the band's 2019 European tour and includes a musical score written by Stu Mackenzie that adds a 'magical touch of alien melancholy' throughout the record. Chunky Shrapnel is an adrenaline fueled psychedelic trip that captures the energy of a live concert while also creating something tailored and unique to King Gizzard.
The band has also announced a feature-length motion picture by the same name that follows King Gizzard's adrenaline-inducing onstage performances from the perspective of the band. The film is accompanied by a double LP featuring the music from the film, which was recorded throughout the band's 2019 European tour.
