Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) has digitally released his “Gory Scorch Cretins” EP. The effort, which was recorded with members of The Melvins, was previously only available on 12” vinyl as part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday event. Cameron commented:
“I have been a massive Melvins fan since I first saw them play live in Seattle around 1985. They were a huge influence on me as a musician and big part of our local Seattle burgeoning underground rock music scene in the 80s. I reconnected with the Melvins in 2019 when they performed at the Chris Cornell tribute concert in Los Angeles. After the show, I emailed Buzz [Osborne] and asked if he, Dale [Crover], Steven [McDonald] and Toshi [Kasai] could help me record some solo material I had kicking around. I also collaborated with Seattle musician/producer Nate Yaccino and Meagan Grandall on this release. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, completely dug the results and decided to pay homage to the Melvins by reimagining the artwork (with their permission) from their groundbreaking record Gluey Porch Treatments. Enjoy.”
