Lord of the Flies

Four tracks of thick, distorted sludge and absurdist noise rock. A heavy, short-form blast of the band's signature low-tuned grit and rhythmic power.

It's the Melvins doing what they do best: making your speakers feel like they're melting in slow motion.

A heavy, distorted blend of crushing sludge and surreal, absurdist humor.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The crushing, hypnotic repetition of the opening track's main riff that feels like a slow-motion collapse.
The jarring transition into the frantic, shorter bursts of energy on the EP's middle tracks.
Dale Crover's signature thunderous fills that seem to push the tempo against the weight of the guitars.
