Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release, a solo acoustic album from The Melvins' King Buzzo. This is exciting news! What makes this news even more exciting is that King Buzzo has recorded this record with the fabulously talented bass player Trevor Dunn. Trevor was a founding member of Mr. Bungle and also plays bass in the psycho metal/spaghetti western band Fantmas, as well as recording and touring with the Melvins (as Melvins Lite). The addition of Trevor's stand-up bass makes Gift of Sacrifice a step up from King Buzzo's last acoustic record, This Machine Kills Artists. It gives this new record a haunted quality which drives the songs to a new level. Another new element is the addition of modular synth, which adds it's own angular sounds to the acoustic guitar and bass. This is an odd combination of sounds not heard before on an all acoustic record.
