Prick is the sixth album by the Melvins, which was released in 1994 through Amphetamine Reptile Records. Due to record label conflicts that prevented the band from releasing any records under the name "Melvins" the album was released with the band name in mirror writing. The album was recorded as a way to finance the Stoner Witch sessions and displays a distinctly experimental quality. The band wanted to call the album Kurt Kobain but changed it after Cobain's death, though the name change was their way of poking fun at their late friend.[2]
