Sputnik Music Regards Tarantula Heart As A Return To Form From Melvins
Sputnik Music says Tarantula Heart is a return to form for the venerable Melvins. According to the site, “What Tarantula Heart represents for Melvins, at the end of everything, is a fresh start, a new look that eschews the half-baked gimmicks of the past few decades and seeks to play around with those familiar tools that have worked so well in unfamiliar ways, namely a bottomless bucket of gut-churning guitar tone reworked into madcap riffs and gargantuan shifts, Buzz Osborne’s inimitable bellow across the waves of sludged-up pentatonic roaring and thunderous drumwork. In short, it’s damn-near a complete triumph for Melvins, and handily reaffirms their status as one of the most innovative and influential bands in heavy music.” Read the full review here.
