Monster Magnet - “35th Anniversary Tour”
For their 35th anniversary, the US Rock band MONSTER MAGNET is going on tour - and bringing the best of over ten studio albums to the stage for their birthday. The four men from New Jersey started their musical journey in the early 1990s and demonstrated an exciting rock sound with Psychedelia excursions and Krautrock influences in their self-titled debut EP ‘Monster Magnet’ in 1990, which was above all inspired by the Space Rock of the 1970s.
This starting signal marks the beginning of a tightly timed-release fireworks that began with the debut album ‘Spine of God’ in 1991 and was followed by new material every two to three years. The follow-up ‘Dopes To Infinity’ was still in the psychedelic, deliberately confused sound area, before MONSTER MAGNET then devoted themselves to pure Rock with ‘Powertrip’ in 1998 - and thus landed their most commercially successful album, which even made it into the charts with the single ‘Space Lord’. The works ‘Mastermind’ and ‘Lost Patrol’, which were only released a few years later due to drug excesses and an overdose by singer and guitarist Dave Wyndorf, also reached high positions in the charts.
Wyndorf is the only remaining founding member of the Rock group and thus also part of MONSTER MAGNET’s current work, ‘Test Patterns: Vol.1’, which consists of just one song - the track ‘Tab’, which was released in 1991. The song is over 24 minutes long and comes in two versions: an original version remixed in 2021 and a demo version created in 1988 but never released. It remains to be seen whether the extra-long track will find a place on the anniversary tour - but everyone who visits one of the eight German tour stops in October will find out sooner or later.
