Originally formed by Dave Wyndorf, John McBain and Tim Cronin, MONSTER MAGNET came into the world with a lysergic ooze in 1989 with two demo tapes — "Forget About Life, I'm High On Dope" and "I'm Stoned, What Ya Gonna Do About It?" – making it perfectly clear from the […]

Following "Eye Of The Storm", which recently reached No. 1 at Active Rock, "Paranoid (Crash & Burn)" oscillates from something more melodic and rhythmic to pure aggression — that "get out of my head" scream is certainly going to resonate. "It's about the voices in our head […]
