Buzz Osborne of Melvins and JD Pinkus (Jeff Pinkus) of the Butthole Surfers form a new supergroup called Gatta Morta. Multiple outlets report the collaboration as a surprise project and note that their debut release is already available. The group’s first EP is titled Burn Witch Burn, which accompanies a doomy lead single also named “Black Hall.” The announcements frame Osborne and Pinkus as long-time noise rock figures: Osborne has led Melvins since the early 1980s, while Pinkus joined the Butthole Surfers in the mid-1980s. Both sources describe the EP as the initial offering from the newly created band, emphasizing that the music is released immediately alongside the single rather than as a long rollout. Beyond the project name and release details, the reports do not include additional lineup information, tour plans, or further release dates. Overall, the coverage centers on the debut EP Burn Witch Burn and its lead track “Black Hall” as the first public material from Gatta Morta.
