Tres Cabrones is an album by the Melvins 1983, released on November 5, 2013. 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.

Nine songs were previously released in various limited releases through Amphetamine Reptile Records:

  • 1983 EP with "Psycho-Delic Haze", "Stump Farmer", "Stick Em' Up Bitch" and "Walter's Lips"; 10" vinyl and letterpress CD in 2012.
  • Gaylord 7" with "City Dump", "You're in the Army Now" and "99 Bottles of Beer", summer 2013.
  • "American Cow" was released on 10" and CD as part of the BASH 13 compilation with Mudhoney, Negative Approach, Die Kreuzen, Hepa-Titus and Gay Witch Abortion.
  • "Dr. Mule" was available for free download on the 10 Years of Scion compilation and later released on a split 7" with Helmet.

    • "I Told You I Was Crazy" and "Tie My Pecker To A Tree" were later released together as a 7" 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.

    Critical reception

    PopMatters journalist J.C. Macek III wrote "Tres Cabrones (Spanish for "Three Bastards") is, by its very nature, a mixture of classic and current Melvins and the current three-man lineup (at least current for this release) are adept at nailing each era and facet of the band (from the classic sludge to the artistic experimental rock to the psychedelic lyrics to the absolutely comical side they've always embraced)."
