<\/div>\n

After fronting the Melvins<\/a> for more than 30 years and helping create grunge (despite his conflicted feelings<\/a> on the genre), singer-guitarist Buzz Osborne released his first solo album in 2014. King Buzzo\u2019s This Machine Kills Artists<\/em> featured heavy acoustic riffs and droney grooves and proved the musical pioneer is still hungry to find new sounds. More than five years later, Osborne has announced his second solo LP.<\/p>\n

King Buzzo\u2019s Gift of Sacrifice<\/em> is out May 15, with an extensive tour behind it. The nine-song album sees Osborne joined by Mr. Bungle bass player Trevor Dunn. The first single<\/a>, \u201cScience in Modern America,\u201d follows the same path as his previous solo album, with Osborne delivering an ominous melody over a hypnotic, unplugged stomp. The song is available now, and the album will be released on CD, plus black vinyl and limited-edition hot pink vinyl (available on the Ipecac webstore<\/a>) and a tour-only tangerine-colored format.<\/p>\n

\u201cGift of Sacrifice was a stone groove to record and it will be a fucking blast to finally hit the road with my buddy Trevor Dunn,\u201d Osborne says. \u201cOnce we take the stage, I guarantee we\u2019ll kick the crap out of this album.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tour will kick off two days before the album\u2019s release May 13 in Palm Springs.<\/p>\n
