Melvins will hit the road this August for their 40th anniversary tour alongside Japanese purveyors of sludge Boris. Melvins will play their entire 1991 album Bullhead on the tour, while Boris will tackle Heavy Rocks in its entirety.
"40 years as the Melvins!!! What better way to celebrate that unlikely milestone than by setting off on the 'Twins of Evil Tour' with our friends, Boris," said Melvins' Buzz Osborne. "This will be a stone groove!"
Boris' Takeshi adds: "Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-1980s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead."
