Tarantula Heart

A dense, dual-drummer masterclass in experimental sludge. Centered on a nineteen-minute epic, it balances improvisational chaos with massive, tectonic riffs.

It's the Melvins with two drummers and a twenty-minute song that actually rips the whole time.

A restless and massive rhythmic exploration that balances crushing weight with an unpredictable, avant-garde spirit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive rhythmic shift halfway through Pain Equals Funny where the dual drummers lock into a hypnotic, tribal groove.
The abrasive, stuttering guitar feedback that opens She's Got Weird Arms before collapsing into a sludge stomp.
The relentless, driving double-drum fills that propel Smiler toward its frantic and abrupt conclusion.
