About Melvins
Melvins are an American rock band formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington, known for their slow, heavy, distortion-laden sound that blended hardcore punk with Black Sabbath-influenced heaviness. They are widely credited as pioneers of sludge metal and a major influence on the grunge movement, having directly inspired bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden.
