Spectrum Culture Digs The Chaos Of The “Triumphant” New Melvins and Napalm Death Collaboration

On Savage Imperial Death March, the new collaborative album from Melvins and Napalm Death, “Melvins’ penchant for zippy, groovy riffs and Napalm Death’s heaviness, bellowing and squealing solos” are evident too. Ultimately, the album mostly sounds less like a cross between the two bands, but instead, a Melvins and a Napalm Death record being played simultaneously — with mostly triumphant results.” The record is out now from Ipecac Recordings!
