Monster Magnet

One of two bands cited as major innovators/founders in the field of stoner rock/metal (the other being Kyuss), Monster Magnet continue to produce their unique brand of psychedelic metal, often drawing influences from the 70's and even the 60's. They've maintained a loyal following throughout their years, gradually growing more popular as their later albums have taken a slightly more mainstream sound, while still retaining a sound that is uniquely their own. It was '98's Powertrip that broke the band nationally (thanks to massive airplay of "Space Lord"), though many point to the early Superjudge as perhaps their best album. In 2004 they released their first album with their newly revamped rhythm section, that album being Monolithic Baby.
