Tres Cabrones is the 19th album by the Melvins, released on November 5, 2013.[1] It features their original drummer Mike Dillard, with current drummer Dale Crover playing bass. It is the first official album to feature Mike Dillard, as his only previous appearances were on the archival Mangled Demos from 1983 and a handful of compilation and bootleg releases. The album title translates as "three bastards" from Spanish.
Nine songs were previously released in various limited releases through Amphetamine Reptile Records:
"I Told You I Was Crazy" and "Tie My Pecker To A Tree" were later released together as a 7-inch release in December 2013. "Dogs and Cattle Prods" was released as part 11 of the Sugar Daddy Live split series.
"Walter's Lips" is a cover of The Lewd, which had been previously recorded as an instrumental by the original lineup and released as "Walter" on Mangled Demos from 1983. "Stick Em' Up Bitch" features original lyrics and rhythm throughout the first half of the song before going into "Fascists Eat Donuts" by The Pop-O-Pies.
