Last week the Melvins released new EP Tarantula Heart. The band has also shared a mini-documentary, simply titled The Making of Tarantula Heart.
“The way we approached Tarantula Heart was different than any other Melvins’ album,” Buzz Osborne eplains. “I had Dale and Roy Mayorga of Ministry come in and play along with Steven and I to some riffs, then I took those sessions and figured out what parts would work and wrote new music to fit. This isn’t a studio approach we’ve ever taken. Usually we have the songs written BEFORE we start recording,” including dual drum parts on much of the record.
