Dave Wyndorf and his henchmen recently completely rearranged and boosted the album Last Patrol and christened it Milking The Stars: A Reimagining Of Last Patrol. Now Monster Magnet go back even further to 2010 and their Mastermind album. The new release will be called Cobras And Fire (The Mastermind Redux) and the first song "Mastermind '69" is already available here. Enjoy the psychedelic trip!





Frontman Dave Wyndorf said about the new album: "Hey, hey! I'm pleased to announce the release of Cobras And Fire (The Mastermind Redux). It's a re-imagining of material from 2010's Mastermind album as an alternative listening experience that I think stands on its own. With Cobras And Fire I wanted to present these songs in a much stranger and dirtier atmosphere. Less 'classic rock' and more... well, I'd guess I'd call it a deranged fusion of Garage-Psych, Fuzz Punk and Movie Soundtrack music. It's almost completely re-recorded (with the bulk of the guitar and bass playing by co-producer Phil Caivano) and as in Milking The Stars I've added organ, piano, sitars and more to flesh out a completely new sound for these tunes. There's also a Hawkwind/Pink Fairies inspired cover version of The Temptations 1969 classic 'Ball Of Confusion' with background vocals by Monster Magnet co-founder and Rib Eye Bros. frontman Tim Cronin. Plus an 8 minute, tripped out sonic adventure entitled 'I Live Behind The Paradise Machine' specially created by mixer extraordinaire Evil Joe Barresi. Joe is at his best here, seamlessly integrating elements from several Magnet songs into a new, stand alone composition. All in all I call this the weirdest Monster Magnet yet, and that's a good thing! I hope you like it! Rock on!"
