Melvins

In August 2007, when Melvins performed at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, they were in a dynamic phase of their career, having just released their album "A Senile Animal" a year earlier in 2006. This album was notable for its collaboration with the band Big Business, which reflected a heavier and more sophisticated sound, characteristic of their evolving musical style. The live set at the festival showcased songs from "A Senile Animal," including "Lovely Butterfly" and "Civilized Worm," alongside fan favorites like "Night Goat." The collaboration with Big Business also marked a significant turnaround for the Melvins, as it introduced a new rhythm section that invigorated their live performances. The inclusion of a Cream cover, "Deserted Cities of the Heart," highlights their penchant for innovative reinterpretations of classic rock, further emphasizing their influence on the sludge metal scene.
