Reissue of both King Buzzo albums together in one package with 12pg booklet and bonus ‘Sick As A Goat’ flexidisc 7”.
King Buzzo, aka Buzz Osborne, is the singer, guitar player and founder of the enormously influential band, the Melvins. His innovative approach to songwriting, and to guitar playing, has influenced countless musicians, and turned leagues of music lovers into ardent fans. Renowned for his pioneering use of down-tuned strings, Buzzo masterfully blended his punk and metal influences and, in turn, he created a groundbreaking new sound in heavy music.
Over Osborne’s extensive career, which originated in the small hamlet of Montesano, Washington in 1983, he has released over 30 albums under the Melvins moniker, two solo albums - ‘Gift Of Sacrifice’ (2020) and ‘This Machine Kills Artists’ (2014)] - as well as a number of collaborative projects including Fantômas and Crystal Fairy.
‘Gift Of Sacrifice’ had Buzz team up with Trevor Dunn, who might be most widely known for his work with Mr. Bungle ,the eclectic and unpredictable Northern California band he co-founded in 1985, but his career outside of Mr. Bungle has been just as notable. He’s also a member of Fantômas, Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant, Tomahawk and Melvins Lite.
