Celebrating their thirtieth anniversary this year, The Melvins will release Tres Cabrones on Nov. 5 via Ipecac Recordings. The 12-song release also features the return of Mike Dillard, their original drummer.
Offers frontman Osborne:
Tres Cabrones is as close as we're willing to get to the Melvins 1983 line-up...The best part is it's all new songs. I specifically wrote tunes that would be good for these guys to play and it worked out great. We had no interest in rehashing tunes we wrote 30 years ago and chose instead to simply create NEW songs. It worked out perfectly.
Dillard last played with the group in 1984. SPB caught a set from their 30 year tour last month.
