MONSTER MAGNET Re-Name New Album, Switch Producers

September 14, 2003

MONSTER MAGNET have changed the tentative title for their forthcoming studio album to "Monolithic Babies" from the previously announced "Radiation Day". In addition, the band appear to have switched producers for the project, with the original choice of Joe Barresi (LIMP BIZKIT, BUCKCHERRY, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, KYUSS) having been jettisoned in favor of Scott Humphrey (ROB ZOMBIE, SPINESHANK, ANDREW W.K.),who recently worked with MONSTER MAGNET mainman Dave Wyndorf on the score for Ice Cube's next movie, "Torque". The CD, the group's first with bassist Jim Baglino (LORD STERLING) and drummer Micheal Wildwood (ex-CHROME LOCUST),will feature such cuts as "Master Of Light", "On the Verge", "Slut Machine Mach 2", "Ultimate Everything", "Monolithic Babies" and "Little Bag Of Gloom". An early 2004 release through SPV Records is expected.

A MONSTER MAGNET "greatest hits" CD, titled appropriately enough "Greatest Hits", is being issued in Europe on September 15 through A&M Records. While the first CD contains the obvious collection of singles and a random series of tracks picked by MAGNET's old label, the second CD includes a couple of hard-to-find b-sides and a complete selection of their video clips.
