As was previously rumored, the Melvins will in fact be releasing a new album titled “Hold It In“. That effort will arrive in stores on October 14th through Ipecac Recordings to be exact and will indeed feature Paul Leary and JD Pinkus of Butthole Surfers fame in the lineup alongside Buzz “King Buzzo” Osborne and Dale Crover.
Osborne said of the release:
“Hold It In is a refreshing piece of fiction in a boring world of fact and bullshit. Paul is one of the best guitar players I have ever heard and Pinkus has an outside the box type of approach to both guitar and bass that you just have to let it ride. I can’t believe this actually happened. I’m thrilled.”
