Melvins frontman Buzz “King Buzzo” Osborne has premiered a new song titled “Delayed Clarity.” This track is from his new album “Gift Of Sacrifice,” which will be released on August 14. Osborne recorded that effort with Mr. Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn.
Buzz “King Buzzo” Osborne (Melvins) has announced that his new album “Gift Of Sacrifice” has been delayed to August 14. With this news, the frontman has also premiered a new video for his new song “I’m Glad I Could Help Out.”
Osborne said the following about the new song:
“‘I’m Glad I Could Help Out‘ is the only song on the album that was done in a single take. Trevor [Dunn] and I recorded this in one live session and I couldn’t have been happier with what the result was.”
Ipecac Recordings co-founder Greg Werckman also commented on the album delay:
“It’s no secret that these are strange times The music industry has been wounded as have most everyone else. The combination of the closure of our beloved indie record stores, delays and shutdowns of manufacturing plants and the lack of disposable income for many has given us no reasonable choice but to delay the release of this wonderful record. Fear not, music as you knew it, will eventually be back.”
