Melvins 1983, the alternate configuration of the iconic band led by Buzz Osborne, announced their new album 'Thunderball' set for release on April 18th. The lead track, 'Victory of the Pyramids', is now available for streaming and emphasizes the band's unique sound with contributions from electronic artists Void Manes and Ni Maîtres. The track notably intertwines punk and sludge aesthetics, highlighted by the rhythmic foundation laid by original drummer Mike Dillard. This album marks another step in creatively pushing the boundaries of their sound alongside a planned tour with Napalm Death.
Dillard's propulsive drumming lays the bedrock for a winding arrangement that opens with an upbeat punk/power-pop section that Osborne eventually steers into the Melvins' typically sludgy domain.
I also wanted to do something with electronic artists Void Manes and Ni Maîtres for a long time. Both of them are exceptional talents. Their out-of-the-box use of electronics pushed Thunderball beyond my expectations.
