Recorded in 1998 and initially released in 2001, 'The Silent Treatment' was the first solo album by THE MELVINS bassist Mark Deutrom, then known as "Mark D". Recorded by Chad Bamford, the album received its brilliant fine-tuning by Joe Barresi (KYUSS, MONSTER MAGNET, TOOL, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE). 'The Silent Treatment' offers an introspective blend of blues rock, Southern boogie, psychedelic tripping, edgy rock, and hard to pinpoint progressive musical references that reveal a balanced maturity deriving from long years of experience in studio and on the road.
