Mark Deutrom: The Value of Decay (Reissue) 2LP
Click to enlarge
The true treasure of former Melvins bass player Mark Deutrom's artistic
expression lies in his wide-ranging and genre transcending solo
recordings. His sophomore full-length, "The Value of Decay" (2011)
underlines the multi-instrumentalist's broad musical scope; for example
by successfully fusing blues rock and super-heavy sludge on the epic
track "Making a Killing" or with the striking contrast between the
ten-ton Southern fried guitar fuzz of "Buried in the Jewel" and the
psychedelic zero-G ambient of the final part of closing song "Empire
Sands". The reissue comes with the bonus track "Dim Light" from the album sessions. Gold vinyl in gatefold sleeve. Limited edition of 400 copies.
