The Melvins are an American heavy metal band that formed in 1983. They usually perform as a trio, but in recent years have performed as a four piece with two drummers. Since 1984, singer and guitarist Buzz Osborne (also known as King Buzzo) and drummer Dale Crover have been the band's ongoing members. The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk. \"Melvin\" was despised by other employees, and the band's members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name.
Lysol is the fourth album by the Melvins, released in 1992 on Boner Records.
The album cover is a painting based on a sculpture by Cyrus Edwin Dallin named \"Appeal to the Great Spirit.\" The image also appears on The Beach Boys in Concert, on the logo for Brother Records, and on the cover of The Time Is Near by the Keef Hartley Band.
