The Melvins Releases Cover of Pink Floyd’s “In The Flesh” Off of New Pink Floyd Tribute Album

An amazing tribute album by dozens of artists for Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” is set to be released on November 9. The Melvins just released a cover of Pink Floyd’s “In the Flesh” included on the tribute album. The entire tracklist is listed below.

The Melvins also did a cover of Black Sabbath’s pioneering metal tune “Sabbath Blood Sabbath,” on a separate album along with Alvin Cisneros and predictably, it’s a faithfully-done representation of the track.

Tracks have been released from Pink Floyd‘s “The Wall“, “The Wall [Redux]“ tribute album, including Summoner covering “Hey You“ and Pallbearer‘s take on “Run Like Hell” from the outing over at Revolver.

Sasquatch’s cover of “Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2.” takes on a pummeling nature in the hands of Sasquatch, dropping a heavy dose of their stoner metal sound on the classic rock radio staple. Gone are the funky staccato guitar stabs of the original, replaced by tons of low end and a soulful organ arrangement. Vocalist Keith Gibbs provides an impassioned performance, his throaty growl clear to understand throughout the metal tour-de-force and Craig Riggs and Jason Casanova drop a whole lot of groove into the song’s already funky arrangements.

Magnetic Eye Records‘ tribute to Pink Floyd‘s 1979 album will be released after $17,790 was crowdfunded via Kickstarter back in 2017 for this new compilation.
