Melvins 1983, the raw and unfiltered incarnation of the legendary band led by Buzz Osborne and original Melvins drummer Mike Dillard, return with ‘Thunderball’ – their first album in four years, out April 18 on Ipecac Recordings.

“‘Thunderball’ is the third Melvins 1983 album we’ve done together, and I wanted it to be bombastic – and I think we’ve achieved that,” says Osborne. “I’ve also wanted to do something with electronic artists Void Manes and Ni Maîtres for a long time. Both are extraordinary talents. Their unconventional use of electronics pushed ‘Thunderball’ beyond my expectations.”

The album was recorded by Toshi Kasai at Sound of Sirens Studios.
