Sky blue vinyl in standard cover.

Background information about 'Tres Cabrones'

Melvins return with a vengeance on "Tres Cabrones", delivering their signature sludge-heavy sound with a fresh lineup that includes original drummer Mike Dillard and bassist Dale Crover switching to bass duties. This powerhouse trio configuration strips down their approach while amplifying the raw intensity that made them legends of the alternative rock underground. From the crushing opener "Doctor Mule" to the twisted punk energy of "City Dump", every track showcases the band's ability to merge crushing heaviness with unexpected melodic sensibilities.

The album's twelve tracks navigate through Melvins' trademark sonic territory with renewed vigor, featuring standout moments like the hypnotic groove of "Psychodelic Haze" and the wonderfully deranged "99 Bottles Of Beer". Buzz Osborne's guitar work remains as uncompromising as ever, creating walls of distortion that feel both familiar and refreshingly immediate. The stripped-down lineup allows each member's contributions to shine through with crystal clarity, making "Tres Cabrones" feel like both a return to form and a bold step forward.
