Gatta Morta, a new alternative metal supergroup consisting of Buzz Osborne (Melvins), JD Pinkus (Butthole Surfers), Coady Willis (Big Business), and Clinton Jacob (mr.phylzzz), has released their new single 'Music for Furbies' (Consequence, 2026). The track highlights the band's ability to merge diverse musical influences, including Melvins-style Sabbath worship, Butthole Surfers mutant alt rock, and the Bonham-sized grooves of Coady Willis, all tied together with the weirdo rock vocal of Clinton Jacob. This single is part of the group's upcoming debut album, which promises to deliver a unique sound that reflects the individual styles of its members. [1]

The song 'Music for Furbies' draws comparisons to the early '90s alternative rock scene, with alt rock verses reminiscent of bands like Pavement or Dinosaur Jr. The track transitions into a hardcore-does-Black Sabbath chorus riff, showcasing the band's confidence in blending these contrasting elements. The vocals remain in the expressive alt rock tradition, echoing the bizarre, joyful terrain explored in Melvins' late '80s and early '90s records (Consequence, 2026). This approach reflects the band's commitment to authenticity and their trust in the audience to appreciate the eclectic mix of sounds. [1]

Honorable mentions include The Body & Cel Genesis with their track 'To Be Eviscerated,' which explores the harrowing anti-humanism of industrial music, and Knoll's 'Inopportune,' a debut single from their upcoming album 'Doth Appear.' These tracks, along with Gatta Morta's 'Music for Furbies,' contribute to a vibrant and diverse heavy music landscape that continues to push artistic boundaries (Consequence, 2026). [1]

The single 'Music for Furbies' from Gatta Morta’s upcoming debut album shows this alternative metal supergroup blending these elements into a beautifully weird beast of a song. The alt rock verses feel not far off from things bands like Pavement or Dinosaur Jr. were doing in the early ’90s, groups that emerged from the smoky underground of punk and the alternative metal that pushed Jane’s Addiction into the mainstream (Consequence, 2026). [1]

It’s the solidity of this element, the natural groove of the band, that makes the turn toward a very hardcore-does-Black Sabbath chorus riff all the more exciting. Gatta Morta do not try to make sense of the shift. They don’t try to ease you in with a transition. They know in their hearts these sounds belong together because they are true loves of everyone involved and trust you to follow (Consequence, 2026). [1]
