Toasting 40 years of The Melvins... with an electro tribute to Throbbing Gristle!

The Melvins new album "'Throbbing Jazz Gristle Funk Hits" featuring Void Manes is being issued by Amphetamine Reptile.

Here's the scoop from AmRep HQ...

What’s the obvious and predictable move for an insanely influential band like the Melvin’s to do on their 40th anniversary? An homage LP to another insanely influential band Throbbing Gristle of course!

THROBBING JAZZ GRISTLE FUNK HITS!

A hybrid of covers and inspired jams, joined by their good friend Void Manes and produced by Toshi Kasai, this project will likely for the first time challenge longtime Melvins fans, because the band isn’t known for doing that…ever. 

Expect Industrial accidents, broken machines, modular synths, circuit-bent toys inspired by the dawning of the industrial music genre kicked off in no small part by Throbbing Gristle. The first all-electronic Melvins LP!?!

The Vinyl Art edition, sporting locked groove infinite loops on both sides, also comes with a bonus Flexi disc with 2 tracks! Complimentary CD version included, and the head kicker… Off-axis drilled spare spindle hole – an act inspired by industrial forefathers (we advise against even thinking of using it!) Hand stamped art on the center label... just about every down and dirty trick from the industrial miscreants of yesteryears handbook.
