""Napalm Death are one of my favorite bands ever," Buzz Osborne said in a press release. "It was an absolute pleasure and a dream come true to do this collaboration with them. We wrote songs together. I would write a riff and we would learn it and record it right there. They wrote stuff and we would learn it immediately as well. It was truly a 50/50 partnership.""
""I have loved the Melvins forever and their outlook on music," Embury said. "A chance to make an album of eclectic musical madness with them was truly an honour and a whole lot of fun, which surely is the whole point! Let's do another one soon.""
""Funny how life turns out sometimes... collecting hard-to-find Melvins 7-inches on Bleecker Street in 1989 and then touring twice and doing an album with them within the following 35 years. Had a great time with it all, and nice to work with fellow travellers in the Melvins who also couldn't care about pandering to 'demographics.' I felt myself almost babbling lyrically during the recording, and that alone made for very fun recording times.""
Savage Imperial Death March will receive a wide release on April 10 via Ipecac Recordings, expanding a previously limited tour-only vinyl/CD. The original release was sold during the bands' co-headlining 2025 Savage Imperial Death March tour, following an earlier run under the same name in 2016. The wide release adds two additional tracks, completing an eight-song LP. The project functions as a hybrid group rather than a split, combining Melvins members Osborne (vocals/guitar) and Dale Crover (drums) with Napalm Death's Barney Greenway (vocals), Shane Embury (bass), and John Cooke (guitar). Recordings took place at the Melvins' Los Angeles studio, merging sludge metal and grindcore elements.
