The next release from Melvins‘ has been revealed to be a double album and will surface on July 07th through Ipecac Recordings. Titled “A Walk With Love And Death“, it finds the band (Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and Steve McDonald) delivering a new album titled “Death“. Also featured is “Love“—the score to an upcoming short film from Jesse Nieminen also titled “A Walk With Love And Death“. Guest appearances are planned for the albums, including:
Joey Santiago (The Pixies)
Teri Gender Bender (Le Butcherettes/Crystal Fairy)
Anna Waronker (That Dog)
The band self produced the recordings alongside their longtime partner in crime, Toshi Kasai, who handled the engineering duties. Vocalist/guitarist Buzz Osborne said of the effort: “This was a huge undertaking. All three things: the album, the soundtrack and the film are benchmarks for us.” Drummer Dale Crover added: “‘A Walk With Love and Death‘ is one giant, dark, moody, psychotic head trip! Not for the faint of heart. You’ll sleep with the lights on after listening.” A trailer for the film/album can be found below along with the track listing:
