Ipecac Recordings announces the first-ever widely available vinyl releases of a trio of essential Melvins’ albums: Colossus of Destiny, Everybody Loves Sausages, and Freak Puke.
· Colossus Of Destiny (2001) – First time on vinyl. A 2LP live album Decibel hailed as “a blissful exploration of abstract noise.”
· Everybody Loves Sausages (2013) – Previously only available as part of a hyper-limited (77 copies) box set, the 13-track collection of covers, with several guests including Jello Biafra (Roxy Music’s “In Every Dream Home A Heartache”), Clem Burke (The Kinks’ “Attitude”), and Mark Arm (The Scientists’ “Set It on Fire”).
· Freak Puke (2012) – Melvins Lite lineup of Trevor Dunn, with King Buzzo and Dale Crover. Originally available on vinyl as a limited series of picture discs.
Each release features a 12-page booklet designed by Mackie Osborne. Pre-orders are available now: https://themelvins.lnk.to/reissues2025.
The Melvins are currently on the European leg of their “Stop Your Whining Tour” featuring Redd Kross as openers. A six-week U.S. trek begins on Sept. 9. Tickets are available at Ipecac.com/tours.
