Melvins

In the live recording of "Let It All Be" from "Launch," Melvins was showcasing their signature blend of heavy metal and punk, reflective of their experimental nature. Released in 1999, this performance occurred during a transformative period for the band, following their album "The Maggot," which was part of a trilogy of releases that included "The Maggot," "The Bootlicker," and "The Crybaby." This era was characterized by a return to a heavier sound after their more diverse early offerings, such as "Stoner Witch" (1994). An interesting note is that the Melvins have been influential in shaping the sludge metal genre, often collaborating with artists from various genres, which speaks to their ongoing evolution and experimentation in music. The performance captures their raw energy, illustrating why they remain a seminal force in alternative music.
