Melvins

Bassist Steven McDonald will perform with both groups each night.

The band's heavier incarnation returns with first LP in four years, noise ensues.

The group will also embark on a two-month tour with a twin-drummer lineup this spring.

Five songs, 43 minutes - band is in pure experimental mode for 27th LP.

The new album features a 20-minute epic named "Pain Equals Funny."

Suggestion that Nirvana frontman left Melvins' 'Houdini' album because they wanted him to write songs is false, says bandleader.

Coady Willis, who played with the band from 2006 to 2015, will join them on the road.

King Buzzo says he expected to be dropped after first LP with Atlantic.
