Buzz Osborne (aka King Buzzo) has found some time during a break from Melvins to release a new solo album, but he's not totally alone, pulling in Mr. Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn to see it through. The album, Gift of Sacrifice, is on schedule for a May 15 street date through Ipecac Recordings.

To punctuate the new album announcement, Osborne and Dunn have issued the new single "Science in Modern America." The track takes on a darker tone as King Buzzo approaches it with a raspier and very affecting delivery. Take a listen to the track in the player below.

Gift of Sacrifice was a stone groove to record and it will be a fucking blast to finally hit the road with my buddy Trevor Dunn,” says Osborne. “Once we take the stage, I guarantee we’ll kick the crap out of this album.”

Though their main gigs find them in separate outlets, Osborne and Dunn do have a history together playing in Fantomas while Dunn also performed in one of the Melvins Lite iterations of the group.

For those who like what they hear, Gift of Sacrifice is now available to pre-order at this location. In addition, Osborne and Dunn will pair up on a tour to support the record, kicking off May 13 in Palm Springs, California. See dates below. Tickets will go on sale this Friday (Feb. 28) at 10AM local time.
