 | | Description: | King Buzzo by Melvins, released 9 February 2017, includes the following tracks: "Annum" and more.
This version of King Buzzo comes as a 1xLP.
The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. - In 1992 the Melvins' fascination / adoration / denigration of the mighty KISS rock and roll universe compelled them to excrete out three solo masterworks inspired by the KISS solo LPs. The first in the series is King Buzzo, from the Melvins' giggling guitar grumpus. Four songs of atmospheric clanging and rockin' banging. Also features the many talents, drumming and otherwise, of a famous Grunge(TM) superstar, whose name sort of rhymes with New Wave Asshole. The second in the series is Dale Crover, from the Melvins' sleepy drum caveman. Four songs of gloomy heaviness, with Dale doin' the drummin', singin', guitarin', and dancin'. The third in the series is Joe Preston, from the Melvins' electronic beard warlord. Three songs of fuzz bass computer drone temper tantrum. All three 12-inches reissued on vinyl after 100,000 years out of print.Comes with a fold-out poster.
All runout details are hand etched.

Part 2 of the 3-part Melvins mural"King Buzzo" on LP is a powerful release by the legendary band Melvins, issued by the cult independent label Boner Records. This edition captures the band's trademark blend of sludgy heaviness, off-kilter riffs and experimental edge, pressed on classic vinyl for an organic, physical listening experience. The LP format emphasizes the raw dynamics of the recordings - from thick, down-tuned guitar walls to driving drum work and a dark, tense atmosphere that made Melvins pioneers of a sound later echoed in grunge, sludge and alternative metal. The record is aimed at collectors and fans of uncompromising guitar music who appreciate dense, unconventional song structures, a gritty production aesthetic and a band that constantly pushed the boundaries of heavy rock.
Melvins are widely regarded as one of the most influential underground bands of the last decades, bridging the gap between hardcore punk, doom and early grunge. Known for their slow, crushing riffs, unorthodox rhythms and a unique sense of melody amid noise, they have inspired countless groups across metal, rock and alternative scenes. Their work prefigured major shifts in heavy music and earned them a devoted international cult following, with their releases often cited by later successful bands as crucial influences. "King Buzzo" showcases this unmistakable artistic identity and stands as an essential piece in their extensive discography, underlining why Melvins are considered innovators rather than followers.
Boner Records, as the label behind this LP, has long been associated with adventurous, independent guitar music from the underground. The label is known for discovering and supporting bands that operate outside the mainstream, giving them creative freedom and a platform for distinctive sounds. With a focus on raw, characterful records and a catalog that resonates strongly among collectors of alternative and heavy music, Boner Records has built a reputation as a trusted name for listeners seeking authenticity and edge. The collaboration between Melvins and Boner Records on "King Buzzo" reflects this shared spirit of independence, experimentation and dedication to high-impact, no-compromise releases. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
