The Melvins are gearing up to drop their new double album, A Walk With Love & Death, on July 7 via Ipecac Recordings. Today, they've unveiled a new ripper off the effort, titled "What's Wrong With You." The track features vocals from Steven McDonald of OFF!/Red Kross fame (who joined the seminal sludge outfit last year), as well as That Dog. frontwoman Anna Waronker. Listen below.

"We love Steven! 'What's Wrong with You' is a great addition to our long Melvins catalog," said Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne. "There's no other song on this record that sounds like it and that's what makes it so cool!"

A Walk With Love & Death finds the Melvins — whose current lineup comprises Osborne, McDonald and Dale Crover — working with two vastly different stylistic approaches. The first disc, Death, is a straightforward Melvins album. Its counterpart, Love, houses the band's score for a self-produced short movie titled after the record. The group shared a trailer for the film back in April. Aside from Waronker, A Walk With Love & Death features collaborations with Pixies' Joey Santiago and Le Bucherettes' Teri Gender Bender. "A Walk With Love & Death is one giant, dark, moody, psychotic head trip!" Crover warned. "Not for the faint of heart. You'll sleep with the lights on after listening."

Osborne and company recently announced an extensive North American tour behind A Walk With Love & Death, with support from Ipecac labelmates Spotlights. Tomorrow (June 24), they'll open for Tool at the Glen Helen Ampitheater in San Bernadino, CA.
