Superjudge


Superjudge is the second full-length album released by American rock group Monster Magnet, released on April 6, 1993. It is the first Monster Magnet album to feature lead guitarist Ed Mundell, who replaced founding member John McBain in 1992. Tracks "Twin Earth" and "Face Down" were released as singles with accompanying music videos. Though a commercial disappointment in the months following its release in 1993, Superjudge has since become a very influential album within the stoner rock genre.

Overview

Superjudge was Monster Magnet's second official album, with their debut release Tab being an EP, and also their debut with major label A&M Records. It was recorded and mixed by Steve Rosenthal at New York's "The Magic Shop" studio in October, 1992, with all original material composed by the band's lead vocalist Dave Wyndorf.
The album fared poorly commercially, largely due to its release coinciding with the advent of the grunge era, which ultimately resulted in a dramatic decline in the popularity of heavy metal in general. The album includes covers of Willie Dixon's "Evil", and Hawkwind's "Brainstorm" from their 1972 album, Doremi Fasol Latido.
