MONSTER MAGNET are on the verge of inking a deal with Sanctuary Records

for all territories outside Europe (where the band are signed to SPV Records).

The band's latest CD, “Monolithic Baby” (view cover here), is scheduled to receive a European release today (Feb. 16) through SPV. A single containing the tracks “Unbroken (Hotel Baby)” and a cover version of the VELVET UNDERGROUND classic “Venus In Furs”, was issued last month.

The follow-up to 2001's “God Says No” was produced by Scott Humphrey (ROB ZOMBIE, SPINESHANK, ANDREW W.K.) and marks the group's first release with bassist Jim Baglino (LORD STERLING).

The band, who recently replaced drummer Micheal Wildwood (ex-CHROME LOCUST) with Bob Pantella (ex-RAGING SLAB), have lined up an extensive tour of Europe during late February-early April. Support at all dates will come from Sweden's THE QUILL and Norwegian rock 'n' rollers GLUECIFER.
