Tarantula Heart is the 27th studio album by the American rock band the Melvins, released on April 19, 2024, via Ipecac Recordings.

The first session took place in May 2022 with drummer / synthesist Roy Mayorga, and the second happened in January 2023 with guitarist Gary Chester.

[1] A press release surrounding the album opined that "the LP is quite possibly the band's most unconventional, catchiest and imaginative work yet, continuing a legacy celebrated for its eccentric and extraordinary output".

According to vocalist Buzz Osborne, "The way we approached Tarantula Heart was different than any other Melvins album.

I had Dale [Crover] and Roy Mayorga come in and play along with Steven and I to some riffs, then I took those sessions and figured out what parts would work and wrote new music to fit.
