Heavy Metal: Melvins @ Warsaw, Brooklyn 2019

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - Yesterday I watched a legend: The "Melvins". The pioneers of grunge and sludge metal from Washington State performed @ Warsaw Brooklyn New York. Their show was outstanding, weird & explosive.

Buzz Osborne, vocalist and guitarist of the band, who started 1984 with psychedelic Cream & Jimi Hendrix covers showed the experience he had accumulated over all these years. Osborne, accompanied by drummer Dale Crover & bassist Steven McDonald, performed pure magic. He put his audience under his spell with violent riffs which were continuously accelerating & decelerating. 

Beautiful but very heavy melodies tilted suddenly into atonal & destructive sounds and culminated into apocalyptic noise. Osborne´s mesmerizing guitar play & vocals - combined with his spastic body language & eccentric look - created an intense & peculiar piece of heavy metal.

Thank you "Melvins" for this very special experience!
