​The Melvins have announced details of their next album release.

​Following on from 2013’s Tres Cabrones and Buzz Osborne’s recent solo LP, the band will now issue Hold It In on 14 October. The record sees a new line-up consisting of Osborne, Dale Crover and Butthole Surfers members Paul Leary and JD Pinkus.

“Hold It In is a refreshing piece of fiction in a boring world of fact and bullshit,” Osborne said of the album. “Paul is one of the best guitar players I have ever heard and Pinkus has an outside-the-box type of approach to both guitar and bass that you just have to let it ride. I can’t believe this actually happened. I’m thrilled.”
