About Melvins
Melvins are credited as pioneers of sludge metal and were an early influence on grunge and alternative metal, with AllMusic noting that their combination of punk and Black Sabbath-influenced riffing shaped everything from grunge to doom metal. The band influenced Nirvana and Soundgarden during its early Pacific Northwest years and later informed acts such as Tool, Sleep, Mastodon and High on Fire.
Melvins released early albums including Gluey Porch Treatments (1987) and Bullhead (1991) before signing to Atlantic Records for Houdini (1993) and Stoner Witch (1994). The band relocated to San Francisco in 1988 and has remained prolific since, releasing more than twenty-five studio albums, including Thunderball (2025), and undertaking extensive tours such as a 51-date North American run in 2012.
