Chi ĆØ Melvins
It's no overstatement to say the Melvins thoroughly reformulated the sound of heavy guitar music in America in both the punk underground and the hard-rock mainstream. This is no small feat, considering that the bandācofounded by guitarist Buzz Osborne and drummer Dale Crover in Montesano, WA, in 1983āhave always been unconventional cult artists. Across their first five full-lengths, from 1987ās Gluey Porch Treatments to 1993ās Houdini, they developed a grinding synthesis of Black Sabbath-inspired metal and hardcore punk aggression that influenced not only Nirvana and grunge but also sludge, stoner rock, doom, and drone metal. The Melvins arenāt just heavy, however: Theyāre weird and irreverent, too. You can hear it in Osborneās gnarled bellows and absurdist lyrics. That sensibility also explains why their recordsāespecially those released after hooking up with Mike Pattonās Ipecac label in 1999āboast such wildly different personalities. Their 2004 collaboration with industrial pioneer Lustmord descends into dark ambient; by contrast, 2018ās Pinkus Abortion Technician is a slab of ā70s rock worship featuring Butthole Surfers legend Jeff Pinkus on bass. Thereās real freedom in the Melvinsā unpredictability, and itās just as central to their legacy as all their brilliantly crawling riffs and thunderous grooves.
