Melvins have just announced the upcoming release of Five Legged Dog via Ipecac Recordings. Five Legged Dog is the bands first ever acoustic record, and it is a double album at that. It will feature over 2 1/2 hours of newly recorded acoustic versions of some of the band's classics along with special cover songs! The album is scheduled for release October 15th digitally and double CD. A 4LP color vinyl release is currently scheduled for January 28, 2022.

Rolling Stone is premiering an amazing acoustic version of Night Goat from the album. “They said it couldn’t be done! Actually, they didn’t say that, but the facts remain. We’ve taken some 30-plus songs that span our entire career and given them the acoustic treatment. There are also some fun cover songs, of course. We’ve covered songs by the Turtles and Brainiac!  I think people will be surprised that we can do an acoustic version of a song like ‘Night Goat’ without losing any of the heaviness. We also really worked hard on vocal arrangements. People are going to freak out!” - Dale Crover
