Announcing our new, double album, a first in Melvins history:
A Walk With Love and Death, out July 7 via Ipecac Recordings

Not only new music, but also short film of the same title directed by
Jesse Nieminen, watch there trailer below!

Buzz, Dale and Steve bring forth Death, a proper Melvins' release and Love,
the score to the Jesse Nieminen directed, self-produced short also titled
A Walk With Love and Death. A release date for the short has not been
announced yet.

Buzz: "This was a huge undertaking. All three things: the album, the
soundtrack and the film are benchmarks for us."

Dale: "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."

Guests include: Joey Santiago (The Pixies), Teri Gender Bender
(Le Butcherettes/Crystal Fairy) and Anna Waronker (That Dog).

A North American tour is in the works for this Summer with dates
to be announced soon.

 something really dark on the way

I couldn't watch the video properly because I have a very shitty internet connection here (and this laptop is a piece of shit, too), I'll watch it as soon as I get home. By the way, I just could see a few images of the video but it seems to be very "Seawhores(ish)" in its aesthetic.

How could Kevin Ass not be on this?! 

[Stonergrunge]

hey the ether bunny, that was fast, thank you!

So they included "Euthanasia" as well... assuming it's the well known cover song and not a new one.

[deatheats]

Very, very cool!

Guests include: Joey Santiago

Now that is something I wasn't expecting

[Captain CoryCory]

I'm willing to bet the vinyl version has some disc 1 songs on side A and disc 2 songs on side B. 

But jokes aside I'm really excited about this album and if there's a band that can pull off a solid double album without the obvious "they could have cut a few tracks" it's gonna be The Melvins. I second the comment of EUTHANASIA!!!

EDIT: I also noticed "and other delights" a few seconds in from the Herb Alpert Whipped Cream album as well. If that teaser video is any indicator of the short film we're in for a trip.

Fuuuuck...

[DToxico]

Holy shit. I felt so sick today I had to go home from work and couldn't even enjoy it, but this is a real pick-me-up.

I got a chuckle out of seeing them advertise a guest spot by the lady from That Dog though. They're one of those "oh yeah, I saw them in an old Beavis & Butt-Head and absolutely nowhere else ever" bands for me and I didn't realize anyone had even heard of them. Her being married to Steve makes sense though.

How could Kevin Ass not be on this?! 

He's not in the band?  Just a wild guess...

[GrimReaper]

This project sounds awesome!

How could Kevin Ass not be on this?!

[Fureon Nectarmoon]

The film looks pretty disturbing and not at all like something I'd like to watch D:
Hopefully the album will be more likable for me.

[POOP GRENADE]

I would really look forward to some more avant garde and noise within this offering. 

Very intrigued to see how the soundtrack works in the film.
