As of the 17th the collaboration between the Melvins and Jello has been released exclusively on his label's website, it still won't be in stores until Oct. 19th though so the only way you can get it is through the web. Jello Biafra accompanied the melvins on stage for the last half of their set these last few days of their tour beginning with chicago last thursday. They've been playing a couple songs off the new album Never Breathe What You Can't See . Buy the album here.

Here is the coverart.

 

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? What happens when the most controversial Punk Rock vocalist/activist on earth teams up with the heaviest band of our time? What happens when Jello Biafra and the Melvins put their collective heads together and do an album? "Never Breathe What you Can't See" is what happens! A musical monster of massive proportions is born, bristling with Jello's manic energy and anchored by the sheer heft of the Melvins' collective heaviness. With both camps flexing their musical prowess, the result is something that retains the signature qualities of both artists and yet sounds refreshingly unlike anything that either has recorded in the past. If the tag team of Jello Biafra and the Melvins wasn't enough, there's guests from Tool, Phantom Limbs, Fleshies, Frisk, Spitboy, Malnourished, and Gag Order as well!
