Melvins are a
rock band that formed in Montesano, Washington, United States in 1983. The band currently consists of
Buzz Osborne (vocals, guitar), Jared Warren (bass),
Dale Crover (drums) and Coady Willis (drums). Osborne is the only remaining original member, although Crover has been a member since early in the band's career. In the early days of their career their dark, heavy, oppressively slow sound made them innovators of genres like
sludge,
grunge, and
doom metal.
