The Melvins' new album 'Tarantula Heart' is like nothing the band has ever done before. A milestone, no question. Maybe even their best record. But definitely one of her weirdest. The focus of the five-song album is the 19-minute opener 'Pain Equals Funny' and the raucous heavy hit 'Working the Ditch'.
In addition to the three core members, the album also features drummer Roy Mayorga (Ministry, Soulfly, Stone Sour and Nausea) and We Are The Asteroid guitarist Gary Chester, with whom the Melvins recently toured.
This album shows more than ever the diverse influences that inform Buzz's creative process. Be it Judy Garland classics, The Birthday Party or even the improvisational approach of Miles Davis.
'Tarantula Heart' not only sounds good, no, it also looks good with the brilliant cover artwork by Mackie Osborne.
