Melvins (1983) – Working With God sees the return of the band’s original 1983 lineup: King Buzzo, Dale Crover, and original drummer Mike Dillard. Released in 2021 via Ipecac Recordings, the album blends raw punk energy with crushing sludge riffs and the band’s unmistakable off-kilter humor.

Recorded at Sound Of Sirens Studio and mastered by John Golden, Working With God feels both primitive and refreshed — a deliberate nod to their early sound while maintaining the sonic weight they’ve perfected over decades. From the chaotic opener “I Fuck Around” to warped covers like Harry Nilsson’s “Fuck You” and the tongue-in-cheek closer “Good Night Sweetheart,” the album delivers heavy grooves with classic Melvins absurdity.

This standard black vinyl edition includes a folded two-sided poster with credits and artwork by Mackie Osborne, along with a download card.
