I'll listen to them sooner or later, if only for the name (an incredible track by the Melvinz).

The Unsane are great, along with Cop Shoot Cop they are perhaps among the most brutal noise groups of the early '90s. But the best will always be them: THE COWS!

I know the White Heaven cousins, who made a stunning album ("Out"). I listened to this "In Stormy Nights" once and it felt like an indigestible mess. Now I'm going to listen again...

Yes, yes, not everything to the Melvins. Vitus are equally important (even if maybe not as genius). Born Too Late is nice, but I definitely prefer the self-titled debut. And also The Obsessed. @alessioIRIDE: St. Vitus were on SST, yet they played Sabbath-esque doom metal in full.

Melvins (A) Senile Animal

The Melvins are not easily classifyable, but the genre that comes closest to them is undoubtedly metal. Heavy, doomy, slow, smoke-filled heavy music. Think of Sleep, Electric Wizard (to name two of the most important names in '90s doom metal); they owe everything to the Melvins, in sound and more. Bullhead is doom, Lysol starts with a drone almost at the levels of Earth, Stoner Witch at times sounds identical to Metallica's Black Album era (but better), and so on and so forth. You seem to be the only one who thinks otherwise.

They were the ones I had seen, I didn't know it was HIM in person! $19.9 plus shipping. I'm waiting for the reprint...

And with that what? Sorry, but I still don’t understand you. Are you playing dumb or what? Your comment “here’s an example of chaotic and useless music” referred to your (questionable) statement in the Camel review: “Only progressive rock could reach such heights, and albums like this one and many of its contemporaries render SUPERFLUOUS AND CHAOTIC (with very few exceptions) what music has produced after '77.” Well, the Pentagram are pre-77, they are not superfluous (Bartleboom has explained why), and I wouldn’t even define them chaotic, but that’s a subjective judgment. That said, I wouldn’t consider “chaotic” a negative characteristic.
