HOUDINI/VINYLE NOIR AUDIOPHILE 180GR/POCHETTE GATEFOLD

Description

The fifth iconic album, Houdini by the Melvins, captures the band's intact power, vision, and musical strangeness. It is an essential release from the 90s, combining elements of grunge with hard rock and sludge metal. Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) was brought on by the Melvins as the album's producer. Their biggest commercial success and their first release on a major label is an album where they showcase the full extent of their musical talents. Buzz Osbourne's guitar sound is deep and heavy, and combined with Dale Crover's powerful drum rolls and fills, it is truly impressive. Kurt Cobain added his guitar skills on the track "Sky Pup" and can be heard as a percussionist on "Spread Eagle Beagle." It is one of the most accessible albums by the Melvins and a gateway to discovering more of the band's records. Houdini is the ultimate Melvins classic and a must-have for all grunge fans and music lovers in general. From the early days of the Melvins, guitarist Buzz Osborne and drummer Dale Crover created influential tracks and released albums every year. The variety of musical styles used on their records has made them popular across all musical genres.
