The Melvins are an American sludge metal band formed in Montesano, Washington in 1982. Their dark, heavy, oppressively slow sound made them innovators of genres like sludge, grunge and doom metal.

In summer 1993 they entered Lagret Studio to record the Thor Arise demo, which would later on appear on the bonus disc of the album Versus the World. The band continued rehearsing and writing stronger material and again entered the studio.
