Melvins’ major label debut, 1993’s Houdini, was no mainstream compromise. While the Washington State sludgesters got scooped up by Atlantic Records in the post-Nirvana boom, their fifth studio album found them as abrasive and unfriendly as ever – maybe even more so. “Honey Bucket” was a fantastically fetid metal freakout; “Hooch” and “Night Goat” leaned into the band’s slow-and-steady menace; a cover of Kiss’ “Goin’ Blind” is comically grotesque. Like the greatest magic tricks, each second of Houdini has you wondering exactly how Melvins pulled off this metal-minded masterstroke.
