DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
   One of two monstrous new vinyl reissues of essential early Melvins, the Eggnog/Lice-all double LP features these two 1991 recordings remastered and available on vinyl again for the first time in fifteen years. Packaged in a gatefold sleeve with original artwork as well as never before issued photos from this era of the band, the LP also includes a digital download. The demand for these vinyl reissues has been nuts - they're already sold out at the source, and we were only able to get our hands on less than half a dozen of each for C-Blast.
    Eggnog is the crucial, legendary 1991 EP from the masters of crushing sludge-punk, and features four of the Melvins' heaviest jams from the Buzzo / Lorax / Crover lineup: the guitar-noise infested nervous breakdown of "Wispy"; "Antitoxidote"'s unstoppable punkmetal boogie with that fist-pumping anthemic verse that will have you bellowing "Pigs don't let it..." in no time; the skullcrushing, fast-paced heavy metal histrionics of "Hog Leg"; and, of course, "Charmicarmicat", one of the band's all-time classic songs, an awesome, earsplitting thirteen-minute monument of slow-motion drone/dirge/doom, pounding tectonic drumbeats over a syrupy riptide of black amplifier buzz and detuned string rumble. Easily one of the heaviest things that the Melvins ever did, "Charmicarmicat" would help to lay down the template for later lava metal explorations from bands like Boris, Sunn O))), all of the others to follow in their wake. An essential acquisition for Melvins fans and glacial metal adventurers.
    AKA Lysol, Lice-all is another crucial Melvins slab, their classic 1991 album with the cover painting of the Native American astride a horse, that featured Joe Preston (Thrones/Earth/High On Fire) on bass, and which was originally called Lysol before the Melvins were forced to change it due to trademark issues. It's hard to argue that this is one of the all-time heaviest Melvins albums, six songs glued together into a single 32 minute track, opening with the 10 minute ultra-sludge of "Hung Bunny", an ambient metal big bang of extreme slow motion sludge that everyone from Sunn O))) to Earth to Boris to Corrupted to Black Boned Angel has been trying to pay homage to since. Gigantic distorted riffs and howling feedback is poured over Dale Crover's sparse but pounding, brutal drumming, and moaning wordless vocals float back in the darkness. MASSIVE. Then the band starts to rev up and "Roman Dog Bird" appears, comparatively faster but still moving at a gooey crawl, King Buzzo's vocals totally drenched in echo, a monstrously crushing psychedelic dirge. After that, the band engages in a couple of covers: a feedback infested rendition of Flipper's "Sacrifice", rendered as suffocating drug doom; and Alice Cooper's "Ballad Of Dwight Frye" is fully Melvinsized. And "With Teeth" appears to close the album -as short as the song is, it's one of my all time favorite Melvins jams, and that hook is definitely one of their catchiest. Essential for Melvins fans, and anyone into super-heavy, hypnotic drone/doom/sludge/avant metal that hasn't heard this album yet needs to do so pronto...   © CRUCIAL BLAST
