Tarantula Heart

Tarantula Heart is the 27th studio album by the American rock band the Melvins, released on April 19, 2024, via Ipecac Recordings. The first session took place in May 2022 with drummer / synthesist Roy Mayorga, and the second happened in January 2023 with guitarist Gary Chester. The album uses dual drum parts, and, according to vocalist Buzz Osborne, was approached "different than any other Melvins album". A press release surrounding the album opined that "the LP is quite possibly the band's most unconventional, catchiest and imaginative work yet, continuing a legacy celebrated for its eccentric and extraordinary output".
