Watch Melvins’ trippy video for their cover of Soundgarden’s Spoonman

Melvins have released a mind-warping video for their cover of Soundgarden’s Spoonman, taken from their new Lord Of The Flies EP.

The cover features Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron playing alongside Dale Crover, with Steven McDonald (Red Kross/OFF!), a Melvins member since 2015, on bass.

Melvins originally performed the cover as part of their six-song set opening the I Am The Highway Chris Cornell tribute concert in Los Angeles in January 2019.

The four-track Lord Of The Flies EP features two new Melvins songs - Never Say You’re Sorry and The Receiver & The Empire State - earmarked for inclusion on the band’s next studio album, their take on Spoonman and Misty Mountain Urge, which mashes together Led Zeppelin’s Misty Mountain Hop and Devo’s The Uncontrollable Urge. It”s available to order now, on the Amphetamine Reptile label.
