THE MELVINS, who release the double album "A Walk With Love & Death" on July 7 via Ipecac Recordings, announce their most extensive North American tour to date, with dates stretching from July 5 to October 3. Tickets for the trek go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time. With "A Walk With Love & Death", the trio of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and Steve McDonald showcase two distinct sides of the band's music: "Death", a proper MELVINS release, and "Love", the score to the Jesse Nieminen-directed, self-produced short also titled "A Walk With Love & Death". A release date for the short has not been announced yet but a trailer has been made available. The albums, which include guests Joey Santiago (THE PIXIES), Teri Gender Bender (LE BUTCHERETTES, CRYSTAL FAIRY) and Anna Waronker (THAT DOG), were co-produced with Toshi Kosai.
