Melvins

A heavy, six-track exploration of sludge and psych-rock. Features a massive opening epic and the band's signature blend of crushing riffs and absurdist humor.

It's the sound of a very heavy, very smart bulldozer slowly leveling a haunted house.

A heavy, grinding sense of purpose mixed with a weird, late-night sense of humor.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, fourteen-minute opening track that shifts from a hypnotic drone into a crushing sludge anthem.
The interlocking vocal harmonies on track 4 that provide a strange, melodic contrast to the heavy distortion.
The frantic, high-energy drum fills that close out the final three minutes of the record.
