Watch: The Colossus of Destiny: A Melvins Tale 2016 123movies, Full Movie Online – Documentary covering the 33 year journey of the highly influential rock band The Melvins..
Plot: “How comes no one has ever made a film about The Melvins?” Well, no one has ever tried or thought it even possible…..until now that is. The Colossus Of Destiny – A Melvins Tale is a film about a band who have defied all the rules, for over 32 years and counting, and still managed to succeed and do it their own way. The journey of band members King Buzzo and Dale Crover leads us from the backwards-waters of the Chehalis River in Washington State, down through the Golden Gate of Northern California, and finally settling into the Los Angeles River Basin of Southern California. With the rest of the world thrown in along the way. You will witness first hand the beliefs and attitudes, values and obscenities, slows and fasts, triumphs and toils, loves and hates, wits and giggles of a hugely talented and influential band. And you will also come away with a lesson in how to survive in the wicked world of the music biz without taking yourself too damn seriously.

Good idea, poorly executed
Colossus of destiny is the chronicle of the mighty Melvins.A pretty significant band in the underground of metal, and in the underground they thrive.
It’s pretty standard in the story telling. The beginnings, the “big break” but fortunately not the downfall. Showing the resilience of talent, business sensibility and knowing enough to never have to compromise, and still make a living of what you love.
It is a text book example of how to survive int the modern age without having to sell your soul and either go out with a bang or a whimper. Plenty of cool interviews of their peers, like the remainders of Nirvana, the late Chris Cornell, members of Sunn 0))), L7, High on fire etc.
Unfortunately, the people who filmed this did not have a clue of how to operate their equipment. The sound is atrocious to say the least. Would have thought people interested in music would have known about external microphones to their cameras, but nooo… Some shots are out of focus, there’s horrible reverb and on and on. It’s not really punk rock, just pure lack of skills. You’ll want to watch this as a Melvins fan, but all others would most probably just be annoyed most of the time.
