I know 'Five Legged Dog' has only just been announced, but greedily i still can't help myself wondering what comes next beyond it!! Outside of smaller, more boutique Amrep stuff, i can't see anything else Melvins related emerging this year now. But what of 2022? Since the era of Melvins "projects" and rotating line-ups it has for a while been quite difficult to ever predict what the next album will be. Each release seems to surprise us in some way now. Plus we don't have much information to go on.
The last we heard Buzz said he was disappointed that he couldn't tour 'Gift Of Sacrifice' and that he intended to simply make another album this time with Trevor on more equal footing. So that seems somewhat the front runner for what may emerge at some point. Also the recording with Helms Alee has been mentioned a couple of times by the band so that might be an option.
The only other possibly predictable material one might assume could appear would be another record with Steven or perhaps a follow up Melvins Lite offering. Speaking of 'Working With God', Buzz said it was about time that they put out another 1983 album. So i wonder whether that might also factor into his thinking with Melvins Lite.
Im sure whatever it is it will still be a surprise to us all. As a fan, i just hate waiting!!
