lacertilia

High octane, heavy psych rock from South Wales, uk

'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. With a decade behind them and more music in the pipeline, they continue to energise the underground with their distinctive reptilian noise.'

Hailing from Cardiff in South Wales, Lacertilia are a 5 piece rock band with a love for all things heavy and psychedelic.

Since 2014, Lacertilia have been wowing audiences all over with their unique brand of high energy, cosmic rock. From underground hippy and punk festivals, heavy metal gigs and stoner rock all dayers, Lacertilia have been there, picking up new fans wherever they go. Highlights include performing at Hellfest in France, Freak Valley in Germany, Desertfest London and, their biggest headline show to date, the 10 year anniversary show in Cardiff 2024.

Lacertilia burst onto the scene in 2015 with their debut EP ‘Crashing Into The Future’, quickly
followed by their 2016 LP ‘We’re Already Inside Your Mind’ and the 'Live at Hellfest' 2016 EP. Lacertilia's 2nd LP ‘Calling The Quarters’ emerged during lockdown in 2020.

Lacertilia are now ready to release their third LP - 'Transcend' which sees the band maturing, further developing their sound. The heavy riffs, big grooves and spacey psych the band are known for are combined with elements of folk, prog and post rock.

'Transcend' has a theme of personal growth and transformation throughout, navigating subject matters such as the nature of reality, existential dread, the breakdown of relationships and the future of mankind.

Transcend is available on 24/10/25 via cult Swedish rock label, Majestic Mountain Records.
