The Melvins will release their first double album this summer.
'A Walk With Love and Death', the follow up to last year's 'Basses Loaded', is due to arrive on July 7 via Ipecac Recordings and will be accompanied by a short film of the same name. Check out a trailer below, along with a statement from the band.
"Announcing our new, double album, a first in Melvins history:
A Walk With Love and Death, out July 7 via Ipecac Recordings
Not only new music, but also a short film of the same title directed by
Jesse Nieminen, watch the trailer below!
Buzz, Dale and Steve bring forth 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.
Buzz: “This was a huge undertaking. All three things: the album, the
soundtrack and the film are benchmarks for us.”
Dale: “A Walk With Love and Death is one giant, dark, moody, psychotic head trip! Not for the faint of heart. You'll sleep with the lights on after listening.”
Guests include: Joey Santiago (The Pixies), Teri Gender Bender
(Le Butcherettes/Crystal Fairy) and Anna Waronker (That Dog).
A North American tour is in the works for this Summer with dates
to be announced soon.
A Walk With Love and Death pre-orders will launch soon, with
the collection available as a double-CD, on vinyl and digitally."
