4 Way Diablo Vinyl Monster Magnet

Dave Wyndorf and company roar back into action with a brand new slab of pure rock perfection. 4-Way Diablo features 12 Wyndorf-penned compositions plus a masterful cover of the Rolling Stones classic “2000 Lightyears From Home.” Monster Magnet holds endless believability amongst fans and critics and they always deliver the goods… this is no exception! Simply put, this is an awful rock and roll record from one of the very best in the genre!

And now 4-Way Diablo is even meaner in this particular 2LP version!

Monster Magnet once again proves that it’s one of heavy rock’s most authenti units with 4-Way Diablo, a recording that demonstrates the New Jersey outfit’s remarkable diversity and it is unstoppable drive. The opening, titular cut, “Wall of Fire,” and “Cyclone” (which recalls Black Sabbath’s “Heaven and Hell”) serve as perfective and powerful Monster Magnet primers. The Latin-tinged “You’re Alive,” the quiet closer “Little Bag of Gloom,” and the (early) Def Leppard-esque “I’m Calling You” speak to the group’s capacity to traverse from light to dark and everyplace in among with ease. A patina of psychedelia sound still hovers here, proposing that quartet will never betray it is roots. Of course, 4-Way Diablo doesn’t add up to a classic album–the same eclecticism that stands as it is greatest strength is likewise often a weakness–but it does stay one of the better hard rock releases this year and it will stand as a testament to Monster Magnet’s enduring nature and willingness to boldly strike forth into new territory rather than staying on an outdated and routine course. –Jedd Beaudoin

He’s on the right track
By Kevin P. Murray
I’d been anxiously awaiting the release of “4 Way Diablo” for a while now, and from a good deal of of the press saying that it was a “return to form” for the band it had me very excited. And this is rightfully so, because when Dave Wyndorf is on in his songwriting, he’s one of the best in his craft.
