THE MELVINS return with a double album, 'A Walk With Love And Death', on July 7 via Ipecac Recordings.

 

The dual albums find the trio of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and Steve McDonald showcasing two distinct sides to the band's music: 'Death', a proper MELVINS release, and 'Love', the score to the Jesse Nieminen directed, self-produced short also titled 'A Walk With Love And Death'. A release date for the short has not been announced yet but a trailer has been made available.

 

The albums, which include guests Joey Santiago (THE PIXIES), Teri Gender Bender (LE BUTCHERETTES, CRYSTAL FAIRY) and Anna Waronker (THAT DOG), were self-produced with engineer Toshi Kosai.

 

A North American tour is in the works for this summer, with dates to be announced soon.
