'''''Colossus of Destiny''''' is a [[live album]] by [[Melvins]], released in 2001 through [[Ipecac Recordings]]. It was recorded live Friday, December 13, 1998, at Club Mangler, [[Cupertino, California]]. It is nearly an hour of synthesizer and sample experimentation ending in a performance of the song "Eye Flys". It was reported that members of the audience were lying on the ground, covering their ears during this performance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.themelvins.net/discography/live/index.html|title=the M E L V I N S .net :: Live Albums|access-date=July 3, 2007}}</ref> The album was originally intended to be the third part of the band's 1999 album trilogy (''[[The Maggot]]'', ''[[The Bootlicker]]'', and ''[[The Crybaby]]''), until they came up with the guest star idea for ''[[The Crybaby]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.markprindle.com/kingbuzzo-i.htm|title=Buzz Osborne - 2002|access-date=July 3, 2007|author=Mark Prindle|date=2002|work=Interview}}</ref>
