Melvins, presumably one of many busiest bands that has ever existed, is now streaming a brand new single “King Of Rome” from their upcoming report Thunderball. Thunderball is the band’s Melvins 1983 lineup – guitarist and vocalist King Buzzo (additionally taking up bass duties) in addition to authentic Melvins drummer Mike Dillard – alongside Void Manes and Ni Maîtres.
“The ‘King of Rome’!! Scorching Cross Buns! This track is a sizzling little punk rock quantity,” mentioned Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne. “I hope all of you get pleasure from it and inform your mates.”
On the report itself, Osborne added: “Mike Dillard is the unique drummer for the Melvins, we have been pals since highschool. We met in Montesano, a small city on the coast of Washington state. I hated every thing about that city. I hated the individuals, hated the academics, hated the cops, hated the climate and I hated how remoted it was. I had no pals in any respect, which was high-quality by me.
“My very own classmates proved themselves the enemy so discovering somebody I may relate to was nice. Mike was instantly impressed with all the bizarre music I used to be into. As much as that time I hadn’t met anybody with an curiosity in any of my musical discoveries. It was an incredible time within the historical past of music and actually nobody round me was . We have been surrounded by mediocrity, stupidity, prejudice, and harmful rednecks. We discovered to play music collectively. We grew up collectively. We’ve remained pals all these years.
“Thunderball is the third Melvins 1983 report we have made collectively. I wished this one to be bombastic. I believe it’s. I have been desirous to do one thing with Void Manes and Ni Maîtres for a very long time. Each of them are distinctive skills and have been a pleasure to work with. Their out-of-the-box use of electronics pushed Thunderball past my expectations.”
