GATTA MORTA, Featuring MELVINS, BUTTHOLE SURFERS, BIG BUSINESS And MR. PHYLZZZ Members, Announces Debut Album, 'Immaculator'

GATTA MORTA, the rock and roll hydra featuring four of underground music's most prolific and bombastic personalities: Buzz Osborne (MELVINS),JD Pinkus (BUTTHOLE SURFERS),Coady Willis (BIG BUSINESS) and Clinton Jacob (MR. PHYLZZZ),will release its debut album, "Immaculator", on February 12, 2027 via Ipecac Recordings.

A preview of the 10-song collection arrives today with the release of "Music For Furbies", a track penned by vocalist Clinton Jacob and inspired by his collection of the furry little nightmares.

"I brought 'Music For Furbies' in and everyone just ran with it," Clinton says of the track. "I love what each of these guys brings to a song, and unsurprisingly, with this group, we managed to make something completely badass. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I'm pretty sure the Furbies would approve."

Holed up at Coady's private studio, The Trophy Shack, the foursome recorded what would become "Immaculator" in short order. Osborne, Pinkus, Willis and Jacob arrived armed with fistfuls of ideas and a collective eagerness to see just how far they could take this thing.

"I figured we'd go in and write a few songs and see if there was anything there," Buzz Osborne explains. "There was. Everybody came in with ideas, and nobody was precious about them. Things just started happening. The initial hope was to write three songs, and we left with six in the first five days! Everyone contributed something to these songs. A real team effort."

"Immaculator" will be released digitally, on CD and on three limited-edition vinyl variants: transparent ice blue, transparent blood red (indie exclusive),and transparent pus green (Ipecac.com exclusive).

"Immaculator" track listing:

01. Black Hall
02. Taco Bellboy
03. Jailbake
04. Clear Smoke
05. Victims Of The Universe
06. Nothing Cleans Like Fire

GATTA MORTA released a four-song EP, "Burn Witch Burn", in August via Amphetamine Reptile Records.

"It's always a good time for the world to embrace a new heavy/weird band," Osborne said at the time. "I had the idea for GATTA MORTA while touring last fall. I realized I needed to start a band with these three. Seemed like a no-brainer. Solidly weird rock music that needs to happen."

Pinkus agreed.

"It's been way too long since I got to write a heavy album from scratch with such high-caliber players with such complimentary styles… and we're just cat scratching the surface of what we got goin' on," he said.

Rounding out GATTA MORTA is Jacob, the creative force behind Chicago's weirdo pop-noise rock duo MR. PHYLZZZ.

"I just had this feeling that one day we would work together," he said. "I became friends with Buzz over the past few years doing shows together and having him play guitar on a MR. PHYLZZZ song. When I was asked to be a part of GATTA MORTA, I was speechless, but I was 100% ready for it."

GATTA MORTA is Buzz Osborne (guitar/vocals),JD Pinkus (bass/vocals),Coady Willis (drums/vocals) and Clinton Jacob (guitar/vocals).
