Melvins with Napalm Death

Savage Imperial Death March Melvins with Napalm Death

Extraordinary full-length collaboration between two of heavy music’s most uncompromising institutions: the Melvins and Napalm Death. Named after their joint tours in 2016 and 2025, this record is a true hybrid project that finds members of both bands writing and performing together as a singular, mutated collective.

Recorded at the Melvins’ Los Angeles studio, the album features Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover joined by Napalm Death’s Barney Greenway, Shane Embury, and John Cooke. The result is a 50/50 partnership described by Osborne as a "dream come true," where riffs were written and recorded on the spot, blending the Melvins' lumbering, experimental sludge with Napalm Death’s grindcore precision and political ferocity.

Originally available as a tour-only limited edition in 2025, this expanded wide release features new artwork by Mackie Osborne and includes two brand-new tracks: "Awful Handwriting" and "Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy."
