The incredibly prolific Melvins have made waves by announcing two exciting new albums within just five days, captivating their dedicated fanbase. The upcoming releases, titled Thunderball and Savage Imperial Death March, showcase the band?s relentless creativity and musical evolution.

Below, you can find the detailed track listings for both albums, along with the highly anticipated 2025 tour schedule that promises to deliver unforgettable live performances. These upcoming albums follow the band’s previous release in 2024, Tarantula Heart, which further solidified their place in the rock universe.

Savage Imperial Death March, featuring a collaboration with the legendary grindcore band Napalm Death, boasts six tracks and will be available on vinyl during the tour, alongside a budget-friendly “$5 CD” from AmRep at a future date. An exclusive limited-edition vinyl version sold out within moments of its release on Sunday, highlighting the immense demand for this collaboration.

Fans can listen to the electrifying track “Victory of the Pyramids” from Thunderball by following the link provided below. The anticipation builds as Melvins prepares to deliver another remarkable album that showcases their signature sound.

Previously, the Melvins toured with Napalm Death, which is a significant highlight for fans, as noted by Loudwire. The details surrounding which members of Melvins participated in the Death March sessions remain unspecified. The band, founded by guitarist and singer Buzz ‘King Buzzo’ Osbourne in 1983, has seen drummer Dale Crover join just a year later in 1984, while bassist Steven McDonald has been an integral part of the lineup since 2015.

Thunderball marks the third album from the beloved “Melvins 1983” lineup, which features Osbourne alongside founding drummer Mike Dillard. Notably, Crover switched to bass for the band’s previous albums, Tres Cabrones (2013) and Working With God (2021), but he does not appear in the credits for Thunderball.

In this new project, Buzzo and Dillard collaborate with Void Maines and the innovative “electronic noise terrorist” Ni Maitres on a five-track album that spans 37 minutes, set to be released on April 18. Osbourne expressed his vision for the album, stating, “I wanted this one to be bombastic. I think it is.” He emphasized his long-standing desire to collaborate with both Void Maines and Ni Maîtres, praising their exceptional talents and innovative use of electronics that pushed Thunderball beyond his expectations.

After undergoing spinal surgery, Crover took a break from the Melvins’ 2023 tour but made a swift recovery, allowing him to release and tour for his solo album Glossolalia in 2024. He is set to rejoin Osbourne and McDonald for the band’s extensive 2025 tour, which includes a short California trek in March and a two-month run with Napalm Death, kicking off April 4 in San Diego and wrapping up on June 7 in Berkeley.

On this upcoming tour, Melvins will be joined by the talented Coady Willis, drummer of Big Business and High on Fire. Willis, alongside his Big Business bandmate Jared Warren, was part of the Melvins? iconic four-piece, twin-drummer lineup from 2006 to 2015, adding to the excitement of the 2025 tour.
