It’s been six years since Buzz Osborne released a solo album under the name King Buzzo. But The Melvins frontman is back out on his own, announcing the release of his second solo album, Gift of Sacrifice, on Tuesday morning.
Osborne is joined by longtime friend and Mr. Bungle bass player Trevor Dunn on the album. They had worked together previously as members of Fantômas and with Dunn performing in the Melvins Lite.
“Gift of Sacrifice was a stone groove to record and it will be a f**king blast to finally hit the road with my buddy Trevor Dunn,” Osborne said in a statement. “Once we take the stage, I guarantee we’ll kick the crap out of this album.”
The first single, “Science in Modern America,” can be heard here.
The album will be released on May 15 via Ipecac Recordings. Tickets for the tour go on sale on Feb. 28.
