For over two decades The Melvins bring punk, metal and grunge as it should sound: dirty and loud!
The Melvins were the first post-punk band to revel in the slow, sludgy sounds of Black Sabbath. Their music is oppressively slow and heavy, only without any of the silly mystical lyrics or the indulgent guitar solos. For Nirvana and many other Seattle-area bands, the Melvins’ sludge was inspirational. But The Melvins always kept their cult status. Their first record was released in 1987; this year they released their 16th album Nude with boots on Mike Patton’s Ipecac label.
