Melvins

In August 2007, during the live performance at Oyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, the Melvins were riding the wave of their creative resurgence with a lineup that included members of Big Business. Prior to this show, they had released the album "A Senile Animal" in 2006, which was critically acclaimed and showcased their innovative sound combining elements of heavy metal and punk rock. This marked a significant era for the band as they began exploring heavier riffs and a more collaborative approach, particularly with the addition of musicians from Big Business. The live recording of "Civilized Worm" from this performance highlights the band's dynamic stage presence and complex sonic experimentation. Notably, the Melvins have been influential pioneers in the sludge metal genre, and their performances often reflect their unconventional style and willingness to push boundaries in music.
