Sludgy alternative metal outfit Melvins will be celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, kicking things off with a look back at their humble beginnings. To that end, they have opted to revisit their original 1986 debut 7″.
This new offering has been titled “The Devil You Knew, The Devil You Know“, and features both the original six songs featured on that effort, as well as 2023 re-recordings of each of them. Steven McDonald (Redd Kross, OFF!) helmed the bass duties on these new recordings.
You can pick the effort up now over at this location. The featured re-recording of “Grinding Process” from the effort is now streaming below. In other news, immediate live plans for the band include:
