One of the more predictable influences on The Melvins would have to be everyone's favourite Geordie Black Metal band,not that there were more than one in Newcastle (uk),Venom*. As with most American groups ,the Melvins are far better musicians than their British counter-parts.Although Venom's over-riding influence on the world of Metal cannot be understated,ironically aided by their poundshop Motorhead level of competence,aided and abetted by a fine line in ridiculous Satanic lyrics;something that Lemmy would avoid like the plague.
It sounds like The Melvins doing covers of Venom tracks amazingly enough!?
*Not Black Metal exactly, but from Newcastle,so maybe, Tygers Of Pan Tang counts?
Tracklist:
A Warhead
B In League With Satan
