The Melvins and Boris are joining forces for a special co-headlining tour celebrating two albums.

Revealed today, the trek kicks off on August 24 inside Los Angeles’ Belasco Theater, and it’ll conclude with a performance on October at San Diego’s House of Blues. For this trek, The Melvins will perform their 1991 album Bullhead in its entirety. Boris, who named themselves after a song on Boris’ Bullhead, will perform 2002’s Heavy Rocks in full. Mr. Phylzzz will be the opening act on the whole tour.

The Melvins’ Buzz Osborne said this about the forthcoming tour:

“40 years as the Melvins!!! What better way to celebrate that unlikely milestone than by setting off on the ‘Twins of Evil Tour’ with our friends, Boris. This will be a stone groove!”

Boris’ Takeshi also said:

“Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-1980s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead.”
