The Melvins and Napalm Death share Rip The God, the latest in a chaotic alchemy conjured on their joint album, Savage Imperial Death March, out April 10th via Ipecac Recordings. The album marks their first full-length studio collaboration under this moniker.
ALBUM DETAILS Recorded at the Melvins Los Angeles studio, the album features Buzz Osborne (vocals/guitar) and Dale Crover (drums) joined by Napalm Death members Barney Greenway (vocals), Shane Embury (bass), and John Cooke (guitar). It was a true 50/50 partnership where both bands wrote and learned each other's material on the spot.
