The Colossus of Destiny
The Colossus of Destiny is an EP by Melvins, released on 16 July 2015. It arrived in the middle of a very busy stretch for the band, falling between Hold It In in 2014 and Three Men and a Baby in 2016.
For anyone tracing the Melvins story, it is a small marker in a catalogue that stretches back to Gluey Porch Treatments in 1987 and has rarely paused since. It suits listeners who like to follow the band beyond the main albums and see how restlessly they keep working.
