The Devil You Knew, the Devil You Know
The Devil You Knew, the Devil You Know is a Melvins studio album, released on 28 May 2023 through Amphetamine Reptile Records. It follows Bad Mood Rising from 2022 and arrived just before Throbbing Jazz Gristle Funk Hits, which also came out in 2023. For a band whose run of albums stretches back to Gluey Porch Treatments in 1987, it is another chapter in a very busy catalogue.
