About
Lysol (also known as Melvins, Untitled and Lice-All) is the fourth studio album by American sludge metal band Melvins, released in 1992 via Boner Records. The album cover is a painting based on a 1908 sculpture by Cyrus Edwin Dallin, “Appeal to the Great Spirit”. The image also appears on The Beach Boys in Concert, on the logo for Brother Records, and on the cover of The Time Is Near by the Keef Hartley Band. The album consists of six separate tracks which were mastered and assembled as one “megacomposition”. It also features covers of Flipper’s “Sacrifice” (from the album Gone Fishin’) and Alice Cooper’s “Second Coming” and “The Ballad of Dwight Fry”, both from the album Love It to Death. The album has been credited as an influence on the drone doom genre and the band Sunn O))).

Boner Records was unaware that Lysol® was a registered trademark until after the first batch of record jackets and CD booklets had already been printed. When they requested permission to use the name, permission was denied. Boner retitled the record "Melvins" or "Self Titled" and covered the word Lysol with black tape or black ink/pencil on the front of the jackets and booklets, as well as on the spines (some copies still have "Lysol" stated on spine though). Early after the initial release, the tape and ink were easily removed, and many fans did so. Later, attempting to remove the tape would result in severe damage. Subsequent printings omitted the word Lysol entirely.
