Melvins with Napalm Death - Savage Imperial Death March (indies)

Following two joint tours over the past decade, the Melvins continue their long tradition of collaborating with another band on an album. Coming soon: Napalm Death! This isn't just a split release with one track for each band. Savage Imperial Death March is a full collaboration, with the Melvins and Napalm Death playing together on every track.

This release was originally issued on CD and limited-run vinyl through AmRep in 2025 (only for the tour and in the AmRep store). Here it arrives in an extended version with two bonus tracks, brand-new artwork by Mackie Osborne, new vinyl versions, and its official release for the first time in record stores.

Napalm Death are recognized as pioneers of grindcore, incorporating elements of crust punk and death metal. Even after exerting an indelible influence on heavy metal for nearly 40 years, there is still no band in the world that sounds quite like Napalm Death. The Melvins are one of the most influential bands in modern music. Since 1983 they have been recognized for fusing punk rock and heavy metal, creating a new subgenre of their own.
