Artist Biography
by Eduardo Rivadavia
Retro-rock visionaries
Monster Magnet
spent much of the 1990s struggling against the prejudices imposed upon
image and sound by alternative rock fashion nazis. In fact, it wasn't
until that movement's late-'90s decline that the band's dogged
persistence finally paid off and their fourth album,
Powertrip, catapulted to gold sales status on the strength of its massive hard rock hit "Space Lord." In the meantime,
Monster Magnet
had managed to become one of the most successful and influential bands
associated with the so-called underground "stoner rock" scene. And yet
their influences span much further than that scene's foundations in '70s
hard rock and metal, delving into space rock, psychedelia, and beyond.
