The band's unique blend of sludge metal, doom metal, and punk rock has earned them a cult following around the world. Melvins have released over 25 studio albums, including their 1991 masterpiece, Bullhead, which is considered one of the most important albums in the history of sludge metal. The band's music is characterized by its slow, heavy riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and often surreal lyrics.
