Monster Magnet To Release Delightfully Psychotic Covers Album ‘A Better Dystopia’

monster magnet new covers lp Napalm Records is pleased to present that the next release by Monster Magnet namely ‘A Better Dystopia’ will be out May 21, 2021 and it’s a delightfully and psychotically curated collection of 60’s and 70’s Proto-Metal and late-era Psychedelic obscurities covered by the Heavy New Jersey Legends themselves.

While the album marks a new frontier for Monster Magnet as their first covers record, this is not your typical set of standards released to pass time. ‘A Better Dystopia’ sees the band pay homage to some of their favorite songs of all time, while reflecting on the paranoia, dystopia and revolution of both now and then.

Wyndorf is at the top of his game on ‘A Better Dystopia’ delivering each lyric in his own inimitable style, and musicians Phil Caivano, Bob Pantella, Garrett Sweeney and Alec Morton own the sound – monster magnet band pic vintage and old school, dense and heavy, with searing fuzz leads and pounding bass and drums all played in a deft style that’s almost been lost in modern music.

Singer/Guitarist Dave Wyndorf [pictured] had this to say about what the listener can expect ”The great bands whose music we lovingly interpret here namely Hawkwind, Poo-Bah, Table Scraps, Dust, The Stooges, The Scientists, Morgen et al were (and some still are) on the fringe, underrated and in our opinion, really, really cool. I think that’s reason enough for us to do this album.”
