Mike and the Melvins was a project they collaborated with the above mentioned Mike Kunka, and it had Buzz, Mike, and Kevin all playing bass.  I don't know if it's simultaneously though.  It was recorded about 3 years ago, and Buzz still hasn't gotten around to finish the vocals as far as I've heard.  

The project wasn't really brought up much in interviews, but none of the members said it was cancelled.  So who knows, it might come out some day.

Cool guys, I guess I finally know what the Mike and Melvins thing is. I've never heard of godheadSilo before. I've downloaded those songs from their website, and I've listened to them both. I'm not impressed at all...

Man, the Melvins have really been going through a collaberation phase, for the past few years! I had heard about the Mike thing, but I completely forgot about it. It's interesting that they've been working on this for three years. Three bass players? Really interesting. Hopefully it'll turn out good, but I'm not impressed with the godheadSilo MP3s.

i've never heard any godheadsilo stuff, but if it does get released, it would probably have more of buzz's ideas than mike's so i wouldn't be worried about it.

i heard some of dead low tide's stuff, and eh it's ok...

[klump]

dead low tide has two or three GOOD songs and the rest is...hmmm

godheadSilo really kicks ASS, check out Skyward in triumph, Sharing the fantasy and the Elephantitus of the night cds

they are absolutely "wicked" as the gents in great brit says

event hough they are kinda one sided, but who cares!

I'll tell you why: they're co-produced by Joe Preston (under the name of P. Dohye). And that's a fact. I LOVE GHS and Enemymine.

[klump]

i knew that i have all of their stuff, but i think enemymine gets a little bit to cold for me...but so does ghs...hmm why cant these fellas find a balance? maybe their new project will work better?

smoke and smoke :O)

i have heard some and i think it sounds cool :O)

Who are Dead Low Tide?

[Metalhead Cow]

Metalhead Cow - I'll post a track by track review when I get back from the Bulldog Bash on Sunday. That means I'm going to have to leave Klump and the Reverend in charge of defending this album. Good luck guys!  

It's Monday now.

Sorry it's late, but I've been feeling a bit rough since the weekend. and I've tried to stay away from computer monitors for that reason. Anyways here we go...

III - This is really just an intro for the album that is made up of noises. The noises start building up with the wind sounds getting louder and some bell like sounds being introduced. Which takes us into...

The Bloated Pope - You've all heard this one so there's no need for me to explain, except the fact is the most 'traditional' Melvins track on here and it's a great song.

Toadi Acceleration - This instrumental is very eastern sounding with the occassional filtered guitar being added. I really like this track as I find it really relaxing and the use of noises and the eastern percussion are used in a very creative way. And it keeps getting darker and darker.

Pigs Of The Roman Empire - Is my favourite track at the moment. Usually I get fed up with long ambient jams, but this one doesn't bore me at all. In fact every time I listen to this I hear new sounds buried in the background. The introduction of 'that' riff keeps everything moving along nicely. There are occassional silences so the track can fade back in with a slightly new variation. It doesn't seem like it goes on for 22 minutes so thats got to be a good thing, right?

Pink Bat - Was my least favourite song on here, but it's just 'clicked'. I first thought it was a lame attempt at something in the vein of The Maggot. But I now realise there is an awful lot going on in this song and it rocks. Buzz's voice is sounding as evil as ever here. Towards the end it sounds like Melvins vs Lustmord, heavy and noisey.

Zzzz Best - This is basically an intro for Saftey Third. Kinda like Lustmord doing a dub of Dale and Kevin playing in free time. Intresting stuff.

Saftey Third - My second favourite song. This is a really rocking track, with Lustmord contributing loads of effects and noises but without getting in the way. It's almost like a remix of the Melvins, and I love the use of delay on Buzz's vocals (keeps jumping left and right with tons of modulation) A really unique song.

Idolatrous Apostate - Basically a Lustmord drone track with Buzz talking through a pitch-shifter (low voice) in parts. Definitly an outro sounding track.

[klump]

that was pretty accurate description of what I feel about that record to!!! holy shit! telepathy??

thanks, LouiLoomis!
