Washington punk/rock iconoclasts MELVINS have announced a new studio album
Released under the name Melvins 1983, featuring founder members Buzz Osborne and Mike Dillard, Thunderball is the first new album they've made in this guise since 2021's Working With God.
“Thunderball is the third Melvins 1983 record we’ve made together, and I wanted it to be bombastic - I think we achieved that,” says Osborne. “I also wanted to do something with electronic artists Void Manes and Ni Maîtres for a long time. Both of them are exceptional talents. Their out-of-the-box use of electronics pushed Thunderball beyond my expectations.”
Set for release through Ipecac on 18 April, the band trail Thunderball with the nine-and-a-half-minute 'single' 'Victory Of The Pyramids'...
