The new album featuring the 1983 lineup of Buzz & Mike Dillard. Plus special guests Void Manes and Ni Maitres. Formed over 40 years ago in Seattle, they were one of the pioneers of the grunge and sludge metal scenes.
a little history… and some opinions from Buzz Osborne
Mike Dillard is the original drummer for the Melvins, we’ve been friends since high school. we met in Montesano, a small town on the coast of Sashington state. we had moved there from an even smaller town. I hated everything about it. i hated the people, hated the teachers, hated the cops, hated the weather, hated how isolated it was. It was like living on the dark side of the moon. I knew no one and had no friends at all which was fine by me If I had a chance to do it over i’d quit high school as soon as i could. high school was a complete waste of time. My own classmates proved themselves the enemy so finding someone I could relate to was just great. Mike was immediately impressed with all the weird music i was into. Up to that point I hadn’t met anyone with any an interest in any of my musical discoveries. It was an amazing time in the history of music and literally no one was interested. We were surrounded by mediocrity, stupidity, prejudice, and dangerous rednecks. We learned to play music together. we grew up together and have remained friends all these years. Thunderball is the third Melvins 1983 record we have made together. I wanted this one to be bombastic. I think it is. I’m already planning a fourth one that will be even more uncompromising. A real shit show.
The band will be touring the world including UK & EU in Summer 2025 including festival plays such as Arctangent UK. The campaign is kicking off with a 3-month co-headline US tour with Napalm Death.
We’ll also be reissuing more Melvins catalog throughout the year to keep their visibility at the forefront.
