Boner Records was unaware that Lysol® was a registered trademark until after the first batch of record jackets and CD booklets had already been printed. When they requested permission to use the name, permission was denied. Boner retitled the record "Melvins" or "Self Titled" and covered the word Lysol with black tape or black ink/pencil on the front of the jackets and booklets, as well as on the spines (some copies still have "Lysol" stated on spine though). Early after the initial release, the tape and ink were easily removed, and many fans did so. Later, attempting to remove the tape would result in severe damage. Subsequent printings omitted the word Lysol entirely.
The self-titled CD "S/T" by Melvins, released by the manufacturer Gestrichen, presents an intense snapshot of one of the most influential bands in heavy alternative music. Known for their crushing riffs, downtuned guitars and a uniquely sludgy tempo, Melvins bridge the gap between metal, punk and experimental rock. This CD format emphasizes the raw dynamics of their sound: thick, distorted guitar walls, a rumbling bass foundation and precise, often unorthodox drumming. "S/T" stands as an invitation into a world where heaviness is not just volume, but atmosphere, texture and attitude. Melvins are revered as pioneers of sludge and drone-influenced rock, whose slow, heavy approach inspired a generation of bands, especially within the grunge and doom scenes. Their career spans decades of constantly evolving releases, frequent stylistic experiments and countless collaborations, making them a benchmark for artistic independence. The band's influence on the alternative and metal underground is widely acknowledged: many later successful acts have cited them as a key inspiration. A concise artist bio: Melvins formed in the early 1980s in the U.S. and quickly became synonymous with a sound that combined the aggression of hardcore punk with the weight of doom metal. Over time, they built an extensive discography and a reputation for relentless touring and a fiercely loyal global fan base, while consistently avoiding mainstream formulas in favor of creative freedom. The manufacturer Gestrichen stands for carefully curated releases that appeal to collectors and enthusiasts who value artistic integrity and physical media. With a focus on distinctive catalog titles and long-lasting production quality, Gestrichen puts emphasis on robust CD pressings, clear sound and thoughtful packaging. Releases under the Gestrichen banner are often aimed at listeners who appreciate music as an enduring cultural artifact rather than a disposable product. With this Melvins CD, Gestrichen underscores its commitment to unique, influential artists and albums that deserve a prominent place in any serious collection. |  | | No. of tracks: |
