Our Take

Ah, the Melvins - the unsung heroes of the underground rock scene, forever marching to the beat of their own sludgy, heavy drum. And with their seminal album "Houdini," they continue to confound, bewilder, and captivate all in one fell swoop.

From the moment the opening track "Hag Me" kicks in with its slow, lumbering riffs and Buzz Osborne's menacing vocals, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band effortlessly blend together elements of punk, metal, and grunge, creating a sound that is uniquely their own - you won't find any cookie-cutter melodies here, folks.

The standout track has got to be "Honey Bucket," a frenetic burst of energy that showcases the Melvins at their most ferocious and unrelenting. It's a headbanger's delight, guaranteed to get the mosh pit in a frenzy.

But the real gem of "Houdini" is the twisted, psychedelic epic "Spread Eagle Beagle." Clocking in at over ten minutes, this track is a sonic journey through the depths of the Melvins' twisted minds, filled with swirling guitars, menacing drums, and eerie vocals that will leave you equal parts terrified and entranced.

In conclusion, "Houdini" is a must-listen for any fan of heavy music looking to expand their horizons. The Melvins may never get the mainstream recognition they deserve, but albums like this prove that they are true visionaries in a sea of imitators.

About the artist

Melvins

MELVINS, the iconic American rock band hailing from Washington State, have been causing a ruckus in the music scene since the early 1980s. Led by the enigmatic Buzz Osborne, known for his wild shock of hair and piercing vocals, and accompanied by the thunderous drumming of Dale Crover, this duo has created a sound that is as heavy as it is mesmerizing. With a discography that spans over three decades, MELVINS have consistently pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a rock band. From their early, gritty releases like "Gluey Porch Treatments" to their more experimental albums such as "Stoner Witch," the band has never shied away from trying new things and challenging their audience. One thing that sets MELVINS apart from their peers is their ever-changing lineup, with a revolving door of bassists and additional members keeping things fresh and interesting. This constant evolution has led to a sound that is as unpredictable as it is powerful, with each new release offering a different take on the band's signature sludgy rock sound. Despite their ferocious onstage presence, MELVINS have a playful sense of humour that shines through in their music. Whether it's their quirky album titles or their tongue-in-cheek lyrics, the band knows how to have fun while still delivering hard-hitting music. In a world that is constantly evolving, MELVINS remain a constant force in the world of rock music. With their unapologetically heavy sound and their fearless approach to experimentation, this band shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Keep an eye on MELVINS, because you never know what they'll do next.
