Monster Magnet have announced a UK and European tour for 2018.
The band will play a total of 24 dates, kicking off at Wiesbaden’s Schlachthof on May 3 and wrapping up with a set at The Tivoli in Dublin on June 3.
They’ve lined up the run of shows in support of their upcoming studio album titled Mindfucker, which is set to arrive on March 23 via Napalm Records.
Speaking about the new record, Monster Magnet frontman Dave Wyndorf said: “Mindfucker is a fuzzed out, headbangin’ celebration of hard rock and 21st century paranoia. Ten fuel-injected, nitro-burning tracks of fiery rock’n’roll and garage psych madness – all done Monster Magnet style.
“It’s also an album that gets right to the point – the world is out of its fucking mind and I’m livin’ it… for better or worse. It’s simple, really. In these crazy times I’ve been wanting to just drive my car at 100 miles per hour and howl.
“So I wrote songs I can do that with. And with lyrics that don’t deny the times we’re living in. Feels good, feels right. Rock is alive, baby!”
