Melvins/AMREP are releasing The Bride Screamed Murder on vinyl this year in what looks to be a pressing of 1000 with each 100 being partially designed by a different artist of the band's choosing. The artist list is not fully fleshed out at this point as far as I know. Test pressings are already showing up on eBay to help offset the initial production costs. The vinyl will be a splattering of Orange/Red/Yellow on white. I suggest you keep an eye on the Amrep Bored for details on how to get yours as they become available to the public. Word is they'll also have some of the initial copies available in time for their Spaceland residency shows this month.

In late February/early March the Melvins will be heading to Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Check the tour dates page for more info on upcoming dates. Additionally, Buzz will be playing a special show w/ Haze XXL+Duane Denison+Steve Turner titled PSYCH-OPTIC BLACK LIGHT FUZZ at H-Space in Costa Mesa, CA.

Our good friend Brian Walsby recently designed a new Melvins t-shirt based on a familiar theme and it is available for purchase from Bifocal Media. They're also preparing to release the latest in Brian's 'Manchild' series on January 25th. For all the details visit bifocalmedia.com
