Melvins reunite original line-up for new album Tres Cabrones

Washington alt-rockers, the Melvins have reformed their original line-up for a new studio album.

The record, Tres Cabrones, will be the follow-up to their brilliantly-named covers album Everybody Loves Sausages, released earlier this year.

“Tres Cabrones is as close as we’re willing to get to the Melvins 1983 line-up,” frontman Buzz Osborne said in a press release. “The best part is it’s all new songs. I specifically wrote tunes that would be good for these guys to play and it worked out great. We had no interest in rehashing tunes we wrote 30 years ago and chose instead to simply create NEW songs. It worked out perfectly.”

It’ll come out on 5 November via Ipecac Recordings, standing as recently returning drummer Mike Dillard’s first full-length release with the band (he initially left before their debut Gluey Porch Treatments).

The band are currently touring as part of their 30 year anniversary celebrations.
