Melvins - Working With God
Friday Release in the Time of Coronavirus #76
Melvins return with album number 24, featuring the lineup known as "Melvins 1983".
Longtime members Buzz "King Buzzo" Osborne (vocals/guitar) and Dale Crover, the band's drummer since 1984 and now playing bass in this lineup, have brought back original drummer Mike Dillard and recorded an entire album in two sessions, truly old school.
The album includes a few tributes, such as "I Fuck Around", a reworking of the Beach Boys' "I Get Around", and "1 Fuck You", a tribute to singer Harry Nilsson.
Melvins are considered pioneers of alternative music, with a distinctive style combining metal, punk and grunge. In fact, the band are considered one of the originators of grunge, thanks to their rough sound and blend of metal and punk. Even Kurt Cobain acknowledged the major influence Melvins had on his work and co-produced six tracks on their 1993 album "Houdini".
The album includes 13 tracks, two of them interludes: fast, dense, focused music with abrasive riffs. No song crosses the five-minute mark, and most do not even come close.
