stoner witch (coloured)

The true gods of the stoner underground music, The Melvins, released their album Stoner Witch in 1994. The album is one of their most successful efforts and an album where their musical capacities can be heard in the depth, powerful and experimental sound. It melds the sound of their earlier records with some ambient and hardcore influenced tracks. The monster anthem "Revolve" is a true masterpiece that breathes the southern rock and got a handful of well crafted riffs. Another epic track and one of the best recordings by The Melvins is "At the Stake". The droning riffs and bass/cymbal driven sounds are mind-blowing and it's full of fantastic changes. "Queen" is a much more radio friendly approach, but even in this song you'll feel the traditional Melvins sound.

The in 1983 formed Melvins can be classified as one of the most versatile bands. Their albums are a mix of various different influences: a melting pot of blues, pop, metal, rock, grunge and doom music. They're still performing and recording music like there's no time to waste.
