Jello Biafra with The Melvins

Never Breathe What You Can't See (2004)

Review by: Jason Thornberry
Date: 10/15/04

What might have wound up quite the curious collaboration had the air of an unplanned jam session instead. One of the elder statesmen of punk meets with a pair that has been behind some of the heaviest albums this side of Black Sabbath. A perfect combination for true weirdness – Jello Biafra's lyrics and the warped metal of King Buzzo and Dale Crover.

The tunes can never quite match the concept itself, and the album isn't able to rest on its good intentions for more than about four songs. Never Breathe What You Can't See could have made a better EP. A safer bet would be to keep an eye out for Retroactive Abortion by Venomous Concept, Buzzo's new project with Shane Embury and Danny Herrera of Napalm Death and Kevin Sharp. Shane never disappoints.
