MONSTER MAGNET Set American Release Date For 'Monolithic Baby!'

April 8, 2004

MONSTER MAGNET have set a May 25 American release date through SPV USA for their latest album, "Monolithic Baby!"

After liberating themselves from their major label contract following the 2001 release of "God Says No", MONSTER MAGNET frontman Dave Wyndorf says that the feeling of freedom and optimism within the band is palpable. "At last we've signed with a label again where it's the music that matters rather than all sorts of marketing strategies," he said. “That's very inspiring for us as musicians, and doubtlessly it will also be to our fans' benefit."

" 'Monolithic Baby!' was born from the irony and absurdity of life in the ongoing and truly hypnotic 21st century,” continues the always-engaging Wyndorf. "A combination of social commentary, ego stroking, paranoia and glee! This is rock and roll! Of and for the moment!"

The U.S. version of "Monolithic Baby!" will feature two exclusive bonus tracks: "King Of Mars 2004" (an updated version of a MONSTER MAGNET classic found on their 1995 breakthrough album "Dopes To Infinity") and "Venus In Furs" (a cover version of the VELVET UNDERGROUND hit). A special limited edition will feature a bonus DVD containing music videos for "Unbroken (Hotel Baby)" and "The Right Stuff" along with an exclusive band interview and two "bootleg" videos from their sold-out London performance this past December.

MONSTER MAGNET are currently blazing across Europe on a sold-out tour with new labelmates GLUECIFER and THE QUILL. North American touring plans will be unveiled soon.
