LONDON - A FIST IN THE FACE OF GOD ON THE MELVINS (YES, THE MELVINS)

Brothers and sisters grim, you are scratching your heads at my inclusion of

The Melvins

in this space, no? Well, they have fisted God so many times more than half of the posers cluttering "metal" nowadays, so take note.

The Melvins, should I need to introduce them, were seminal grunge pioneers from Washington. Anyway, this is not Wikipedia, I've just been listening to them constantly as of late, in between the usual shrapnel that rapes my ears daily. "Sludge metal" is always something I've kinda avoided due to the connotations but man, this is rousing to the say the least. The riffing is obviously intended as the soundtrack to battles between Gods in the clouds above, the drumming falling harder than Thor's mighty hammer.
