Metal Epidemic Says Savage Imperial Death March Lives Up to The Hype

According to Metal Epidemic, the new collaborative LP from Melvins and Napalm Death “lives up to hype… There is a lot of music here, a bevy of gnarly moments in every song… I love it. It’s so unique for someone like myself who has never experienced Melvins and loves Napalm Death to hear the sonic maelstrom created when two mammoths combine their powers and unleash their fury. Whether you’re in the same boat or you happen to know both bands, or even neither of the bands, do yourself a solid and listen to this record, it might be the most chaotically hypnotic thing you hear all year.” The full review is here.

The album, Savage Imperial Death March, is at radio now from Ipecac Recordings.
