Melvins and Napalm Death will hit the road this April, but that's not all! The duo have now announced a collaborative record called Savage Imperial Death March that'll be out on vinyl this Sunday via AmRep Records (CDs coming soon). Pre-orders are available here. Also, here's hoping this hits streaming services.
"The title put me in a World War 1 frame of mind," said AmRep Records owner Tom Hazelmyer. "The last gasp for more than a few empires and monarchies, and for anyone familiar, a fucking horror-show of humanity crushing, meat grinding tactics overseen by utterly uncaring upper class elites refusing to change disastrous and arcane warfare methods despite the millions slaughtered to no ends. At least the whole world learned from the hideous mistake and it would never be repeated!"
Napalm Death and Melvins will hit the road in 2025 for the second installment of their Savage Imperial Death March tour. The tour features Melvins going back to their two-drummer configuration with Dale Crover and Coady Willis alongside openers Shane Embury's Dark Sky Burial on all dates. Additional support comes from Weedeater, Titan To Tachyons featuring Mr. Bungle's Trevor Dunn, and The Hard-Ons with Jerry A. Tickets are available here.
