Next month, the band tours with drone act Darsombra, culminating in a May 30 show at NYC’s Cake Shop alongside Kylesa. Vegan cupcakes + metal = bliss. See dates here.
New records on Relapse by 16 and Mumakil are streaming in their entirety here and here, respectively. Both come recommended. Purchase links are on the streaming pages.
Artist Brian Walsby has a new book out, Manchild 4 (cover above). It contains an illustrated Melvins tour diary and includes a live Melvins CD (story here). Get it at All That Is Heavy and Bifocal Media.
Profound Lore has posted the lyrics, not printed in the booklet, to Cobalt’s new record Gin.
All That Is Heavy has begun manufacturing its own shirts. The first one is of The Obsessed’s Lunar Womb. The fact that a small shirt is available for this record is mildly mind-blowing.
