A Better Dystopia

Monster Magnet

A heavy-duty collection of obscure 60s and 70s covers. Fuzz-drenched guitars and apocalyptic swagger recorded during global isolation.

It's a heavy-metal history lesson taught by a guy who's seen too many UFOs.

A gritty, high-octane celebration of rock's weirdest underground corners.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless Hawkwind-style propulsion on Born to Go that feels like a rocket breaking atmosphere.
The massive, sludge-thick riff on Solid Gold Hell that slows the album's pulse to a menacing crawl.
The manic, feedback-laced energy of It's Trash that captures the raw spirit of 60s garage punk.
