A Better Dystopia, die neue Platte von MONSTER MAGNET, lädt den Hörer direkt in die Gedankenwelt der Psychedelic-Rock Legende Dave Wyndorf ein und überzeugt mit einer psychotischen Auswahl aus Proto-Metal und späten Psych Songs, die breitbeinigem Hardrock mehr als nur Tribut zollen. Die exzellente und gleichermaßen obskure Songauswahl huldigt einigen bekannten All-Time-Favorites in neuem MONSTER MAGNET Gewandt und lässt vertraute Melodien neuen Spirit atmen. Das erste Cover-Album markiert eine weitere absolute Glanzleistung der Band und präsentiert Wyndorf’s Stimmkraft, die den Songs einen zweifelsohne, unnachahmlichen Stempel verleiht, in absoluter Höchstform,. Das Sound-Korsett von A Better Dystopia wurde von den Musikern Phil Caivano, Bob Pantela, Garrett Sweeney und Alec Morton geschnürt: Ein Feuer aus Vintage und Old School, brennenden Fuzz-Leads und stampfenden Bässen und Drums, ausgelöst durch den expressiven Stil der Formation, der in der modernen Musik fast verloren gegangen ist. Im Album Opener "The Diamond Mine" rezitiert Dave Wyndorf einen klassischen Monolog Dave Diamonds' - einem amerikanischen Radio-DJ, dessen Sendungen in den späten 60ern und frühen 70er Jahren vielen Psychedelic- und Acid-Rock-Bands zu steigender Bekanntheit verholfen haben.Mit den Anfangsakkorden das Hawkind-Klassikers “Born To Go” beginnt der eigentliche Trip der MONSTER MAGNET Platte. Tracks, wie das herausragende “Mr Destroyer” (Poo-Bah) rühmen sich durch wabernde Riffs und wirbelnde Vocal-Parts und führen mit beinah visionärer Wirkkraft die perfekte Mischung aus Hard Rock und Psychedelic herbei. Das fiebrig klingende “Motorcycle (Straight To Hell)” (Table Scraps) atmet die pure Punk Wildheit der alten Schule und Zeilen wie "I'm gonna drive it straight to HELL!" erinnern an eine stilistische Kreuzung aus Iggy Pop und Motörhead. Die tosende Version des Hardrock Klassikers “Learning To Die” (Dust) und die ausdrucksstarke Interpretation des Stooges-trifft-auf-Goth-Epos “Solid Gold Hell” (The Scientists) ziehen den Hörer vollends in die Tiefen des flackendernden Kaninchenbaus. Das Album schließt mit der explosiven Coverversion von Morgens “Welcome To The Void”, die in bissig und gleichermaßen ungezwungenere Manier dazu einlädt, die halluzinogene Fahrt immer wieder neu zu starten. Mit A Better Dystopia lassen MONSTER MAGNET den Hörer in einer anderen Zeit und einem anderen Raum erwachen, der trotzdessen eindeutig den klassifizierenden Magneten-Stempel an jeder Ecke widerspiegelt.

Originally released in July of 2021, “The Dark Parade” marked the influential San Francisco crossover thrash metal act Mordred’s first full-length release in over 25 years. The record was the follow-up to the group's 2020 comeback EP “Volition,” and their first full-length since 1994's “The Next Room.” Due to overwhelming demand with the first vinyl pressing quickly selling out, M-Theory Audio has reissued a second pressing which will be available on limited-edition (300 copies) colored vinyl (black with red splatter). Mordred was formed in 1984 as the burgeoning Bay Area thrash scene was beginning its rise to global prominence. While mosh-inducing thrash formed the basic blueprint of their sound, Mordred stood out as a unique presence thanks to their integration of funk, alternative and hip-hop influences. The group was one of the first metal bands to explore those diversities, but as the dexterous bass performance of Art Liboon and innovative turntable work from band collaborator Aaron “DJ Pause” Vaughn provided a new spin on the thrash metal genre, Mordred retained their metallic bark thanks to groove-laden shred from guitarists Danny White and James Sanguinetti and energetic shout-along choruses spearheaded by vocalist Scott Holderby. That combination of thrash metal and exploratory funk powered three full-lengths on Noise Records between 1989 and 1994, from their revered debut “Fool's Game,” to their even more eclectic sophomore follow-up “In This Life,” through their final – until now – record, “The Next Room.” “The Dark Parade” is Mordred's first album in over twenty-five years, and first since their 2013 reunion. Their new album features five-sixths of the personnel from the group's acclaimed 1991 record “In This Life,” plus new drummer Jeff Gomes (formerly of Fungo Mungo and Mirv). The new record showcases the band's revitalized energy and classic sound, and their varied influences allow their music to sound as fresh now as it did during the group's initial decade of existence.

Marking 30 years of this genre-defining classic debut from the UK pioneers; released in 1991, Industrial still stands as a stunning concoction of walls of unrelenting heaviness & primal aggression. With a punishingly stark and brutal sound, punctuated with profound lyrical statements, Pitchshifter had found a highly effective cocktail of dissonance to build upon when they entered Lion Studios in Leeds, in September 1990, with the album coming together in a mere 72 hours. Upon the release of Industrial, the band swiftly found itself on support slots with acts such as Napalm Death & Paradise Lost, and had also notably caught the attention of highly revered Radio DJ John Peel, who invited Pitchshifter to perform for his prestigious Peel Sessions. Pitchshifter formed in Nottingham, UK, in 1989 by guitarist/programmer Johnny Carter & bassist/vocalist Mark Claydon, with Mark’s brother Jon later joining the fold following initial demo recordings. From their pioneering early days along with the other seminal industrial masters, Godflesh, Pitchshifter’s ascension throughout the 1990s culminated in the band becoming one of the UK’s biggest metal exports around the new millennium, with a spell at Geffen & MCA Records helping Pitchshifter’s profile grow enormously. Their Deviant (2000) album reached number 39 in the billboard 200, & this also led to the band embarking on major tours, as well as playing at the renowned Ozzfest. From their more raw & primitive metallic origins, Pitchshifter continued to expand their sound, experimenting with ideas such as drum and bass as they evolved.
