UK outfit Raging Speedhorn have teamed up with Monster Magnet to release a split 7-inch single.
Only 300 vinyl pressings will be made available – and it’s being launched to coincide with Raging Speedhorn’s appearance at this year’s Metal Hammer-sponsored Desertfest in London.
The double A-side single features Speedhorn’s Half Way To Hell and Monster Magnet’s Hallucination Bomb. It’ll be released via H42 Records on April 29 – the same day the Camden event gets underway.
Guitarist Jim Palmer says: “Having been a fan of Monster Magnet forever, it’s a real pleasure to be part of this split record. We also feel tremendously honoured that Desertfest chose us as we are big fans of the festival. It doesn’t get much better than this.”
Raging Speedhorn returned to the studio last month to beginning work on what will be their first album since 2007’s Before The Sea Was Built.
Meanwhile, Monster Magnet will tour Europe next month in support of 2015’s Cobras And Fire (The Mastermind Redux).
