Honky is the ninth album by Melvins, which was released in 1997 through Amphetamine Reptile Records. It is widely considered to be the band's most experimental album. Their first studio album after being dropped from Atlantic, it contains a mixture of traditional Melvins-sounding rock, experiments with drones and soundscapes, and some rather uncharacteristic electronic pieces. A video was made for "Mombius Hibachi". "Lovely Butterfly" became a live favorite and is still played to this day. The final track, "In the Freaktose the Bugs are Dying", concludes with over 25 minutes of silence.
