MUSIC
The Melvins and Napalm Death
Pioneers of grunge and grindcore, respectively, the Melvins and Napalm Death had mammoth impacts on the heavy music underground beginning in the mid-’80s — albeit at completely opposite speeds. The Melvins slowed things down to a pummeling crawl with their lugubrious riffing; Napalm Death blasted forth with high-velocity missives fast enough to cause windburn. They team up at 8 p.m. Saturday at Swan Dive, 1301 S. Main St. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 day of show; swandivelv.com.

MUSIC
Meshuggah
