Melvins – Coming Soon With Napalm Death To A City Near You – Preview New LP With Blabbermouth
Blabbermouth has a preview of the upcoming Melvins album Thunderball, along with epic advance single “Victory of the Pyramids.” According to the site, “Driven by [drummer Matt] Dillard‘s unrelenting cadence, the song opens with an almost deceptively poppy feel before spiraling into the crushing, sludgy depths that have long defined the MELVINS sound. As Dillard said, it’s ‘a lovely blend of beautiful noise and gut-busting grooves.'” Read more here.
