It takes a lot of guys to cover a Soundgarden song. Melvins definitely have guts, so it's not surprising that the legendary band recently covered the Chris Cornell favorite.
The cover is off Melvins' "Lord of the Flies" EP, which arrived on Jan. 10 via Amphetamine Reptile Records. The album isn't available digitally, so the band just released the cover on YouTube. The great Matt Cameron is on drums, making this even sweeter. Listen to the song below!
