Stag is the eighth studio album by influential experimental rock band Melvins, originally released in 1996.
One of the band’s most adventurous releases, Stag sees the Melvins pushing further into experimental territory while still retaining the crushing heaviness that defined their earlier work. The album blends sludge metal, noise rock, and psychedelic experimentation, with unpredictable song structures and a wide range of sonic textures.
Featuring standout tracks such as "The Bit", "Bar-X-The Rocking M", and "Skin Horse", the record captures the band at one of their most creative periods and highlights their reputation for constantly challenging expectations within heavy music.
