It's been six years since Melvins vocalist and guitarist Buzz Osborne released his solo album This Machine Kills Artists, but he's back with the follow-up! Osborne will release Gift of Sacrifice on May 15 along with contributions from legendary bassist Trevor Dunn (ex-Melvins, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, etc.).
“Gift of Sacrifice was a stone groove to record and it will be a fucking blast to finally hit the road with my buddy Trevor Dunn,” said Osborne about the record. “Once we take the stage, I guarantee we’ll kick the crap out of this album.”
Check out the new track "Science in Modern America" now, pre-order the record here, and catch the duo on the road this spring.
