Sleep, Volume Two.


1991
Sleep was a stoner-doom metal band from San Jose, California. Active during the 1990s, Sleep earned much critical and record label attention from early in their career. Critic Ed Rivadavia describes them as "perhaps the ultimate stoner rock band" and notes they exerted a strong influence on heavy metal in the '90s.
The EP was unofficially released through the Off The Disk-record company (OTD-15) after Justin Marler had left the band to enter an Orthodox monastery. It consists of a cover of Black Sabbath and an early version of "Nain's Baptism" and "The Druid", both to appear in their full form on Sleep's next album: Sleep's Holy Mountain. There were only 1000 copies pressed, making this a collector's item for most fans.

Note: My version has two extra songs.
The tracklisting is:

  1. "Lord of This World" (Black Sabbath) - (6:26)
  2. "The Druid" - (1:53)
  3. "Nain's Baptism" - (4:35)
  4. "Anguish (alternate)" - (4:54)
  5. The Suffering (alternate)" - (4:44)

Melvins, (A) Senile Animal.


2006
The Melvins are an American experimental sludge metal/grunge band that usually perform as a trio. Singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne (aka "King Buzzo") and drummer Dale Crover are constant members, but the band has seen several bass guitarists. They have occasionally added a guest or second guitarist for live performances. The band was named after a supervisor at the Thriftway in Montesano, Washington where Osborne served as a clerk (and vandal). Melvin was greatly despised, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name.

Fantômas, The Director's Cut.


2001
Fantômas is an avant-garde metal band formed in 1998 in California, United States. The band was formed when singer Mike Patton composed a handful of spasmic, avant-garde metal songs just before the collapse of his earlier group, Faith No More. Patton then sent the original compositions to his friends, hoping to form a performing group: guitarist Buzz Osborne (of The Melvins), bassist Trevor Dunn (also of Mr. Bungle, the band he and Patton [and Trey Spruance] formed in high school) and drummer Igor Cavalera (of Sepultura). Cavalera declined the offer, but recommended who he thought would be perfect for the project: Dave Lombardo of Slayer.
