Monster Magnet have released a lyric video for their hard-hitting new single When The Hammer Comes Down.
The track has been lifted from the band’s latest studio album Mindfucker which launched back in March via Napalm Records.
Monster Magnet have launched the promo to mark the start of their North American tour, which will get under way later tonight (September 28) at Lee’s Palace in Toronto. They’ll then play a further 20 dates, before wrapping up with a set at The Sinclair in Boston on October 28.
Speaking about the tour, frontman Dave Wyndorf says: “And the electrified circus leaves town! Time to rock, bitches!”
Wyndorf described their latest album as “a fuzzed out, headbangin’ celebration of hard rock and 21st century paranoia.”
He added: “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!”
