Rolling Stone has done other genre-specific ‘greatest albums’ lists before, like for metal and punk, and now they’ve done it for grunge.

Here’s all the metal we posted this week, including Deafheaven, Pig Destroyer, Saint Vitus, Devil Master, Vltimas, Big Business, Noisem, Lord Dying, and more.

Dub Trio are releasing a new album and touring, and the first single features Melvins’ King Buzzo, who’s also working on something with Matt Cameron…

Soundgarden played with members of Melvins, Foo Fighters, MC5, and more; Temple of the Dog played with Fiona Apple, Chris Stapleton, Miguel, and more; Audioslave played with members of Black Sabbath, Jane’s Addiction, Metallica, Foo Fighters, and more; and many musicians did covers…

The Manx — an experimental punk band made up of animators for Adult Swim and other networks — are releasing a new collection featuring Blood Brothers’s Cody Votolato, ‘Rick and Morty’ co-creator Justin Roiland and more.

The second installment of the Melvins’ ongoing tour diary includes the show at Brooklyn’s Warsaw, where Dale worked the venue’s bistro that night. ”Most of the concert goers didn’t recognize him and probably thought he was yet another asshole bastard they had to deal with. That’s how it goes in Brooklyn,” Buzz wrote.

In case you’re wondering how it’s going on tour with two bassists, the band says ”So far we haven’t had to break up any fist fights but it’s early yet.”

This week’s Notable Releases include the first Sleep album in 15+ years, the first A Perfect Circle album in 14 years, Lord Huron’s best album yet, and more.

It’s off their two-bassists album with Jeff Pinkus (Butthole Surfers) and Steve McDonald (Redd Kross).

The album is called ‘Pinkus Abortion Technician,’ named of course after Butthole Surfers bassist Jeff Pinkus and Butthole Surfers’ 1987 album ‘Locust Abortion Technician,’ and it includes two Butthole Surfers covers.
