{"product_id":"melvins-eggnog-green","title":"Melvins - Eggnog [Green]","description":"\u003cp\u003eEggnog is Melvins at their most gloriously stubborn, four tracks of sludge that crawl and pound. This reissue of the early EP comes on green vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst released by Boner Records in 1991 as a 10-inch EP, it arrived during the band's fertile early-nineties run, with Buzz Osborne on guitar and vocals, Dale Crover on drums and Lorax on bass. Melvins were already a reference point for a generation of heavy and alternative bands by then, and Eggnog shows exactly why, pairing colossal riffs with a deadpan refusal to play anything the easy way. Few bands have ever made slowness sound this menacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide one runs through \"Wispy\", \"Antitoxidote\" and \"Hog Leg\", with Crover's drums landing like dropped furniture and Osborne's guitar thick enough to stand a spoon in. Then \"Charmicarmicat\" claims the entire second side for itself, a long-form test of nerve that rewards patience and a healthy amount of volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is heavy music with a wicked sense of humour, which is the Melvins formula in a nutshell, and it has aged remarkably well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans tracing the line from these records to grunge, doom and beyond, Eggnog is an essential missing piece, and the green vinyl makes it a fine-looking one too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67762473304354,"sku":"038161002816","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Melvins-Eggnog_Green.jpg?v=1794315113","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/melvins-eggnog-green","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
