Napalm Death & Melvins at Madrid Theatre

The Melvins are a rather interesting band. They don’t subscribe to any one genre’s rules or style, and their music has influenced countless musicians. They were instrumental to the development of grunge in Seattle for both their musicality and their connections to the ultimate grunge band Nirvana. Now, they’ve released 27 studio albums since their beginnings in the Aberdeen punk scene. Their newest, "Tarantula Heart," was released in 2024. Get a chance to hear them live at their Kansas City show with Napalm Death. Grab your tickets today!

It’s hard to describe the level of impact that Napalm Death have had on the heavy metal genre. They are largely considered the creators of grindcore, an extreme subgenre of metal that fuses elements of crust punk, death metal, and general hardcore attributes. Their song You Suffer is currently known as the shortest song in the world. Despite its under 2 second runtime, the song is often credited as heavily influential and iconic, much like most of the band’s work. Their newest release "Resentment Is Always Seismic," was released in 2022, and they’re headed on a world tour this year to support it. Don’t miss out on your chance to see heavy metal legends in the flesh. Tickets are on sale now, so get going!

Equally as impactful as grindcore legends Napalm Death are grunge founding fathers the Melvins. Melvins were just getting started honing their influential sound when the whole of Washington was entering a grunge takeover. Soon enough, Melvins would be cited as one of the earliest players in the development of grunge’s signature sound. To date, they’ve released 27 studio albums and have developed a sound that would inspire sludge metal, grunge, punk, and beyond. Both Napalm Death and Melvins are major players in the development of hardcore music. And now, they’re coming together on a long list of shows across the globe. Grab some tickets to see the both of them live at the Madrid Theatre. They’re on sale now, so make sure you get ‘em before they’re gone!
