Melvins


"Lysol," also known as "Melvins," "Untitled," and "Lice-All," is the fourth studio album by the American heavy metal band Melvins. It was released in November 1992 via Boner Records. The album cover is based on "Appeal to the Great Spirit," a sculpture from 1908 by Cyrus Edwin Dallin. This sculpture also inspired the cover art for The Beach Boys' "In Concert," the logo of the Beach Boys' Brother Records label, and the cover of The Keef Hartley Band's "The Time Is Near." "Lysol" comprises six separate tracks that were mastered and assembled as one continuous "megacomposition." Among these tracks are covers of Flipper's "Sacrifice" from the album "Gone Fishin'" and Alice Cooper's "Second Coming" and "The Ballad of Dwight Fry," both from the album "Love It to Death." The album is noted for its influence on the drone metal subgenre, particularly on the work of Sunn O))). Despite its influence and critical acclaim, "Lysol" has not been added to streaming services as of recent times.
