Released in 2022, this album unearths the primal, embryonic sketches of the band’s legendary 1991 track "Tab". It features a mesmerizing, unedited 1988 demo alongside a brilliant, fuzzy 2021 remix by John McBain, offering a deep dive into the band's early sonic experiments.

The record is a massive, hypnotic wall of fuzz guitars, swirling analog synthesizers, and heavy, monolithic rhythms. Led by the visionary Dave Wyndorf, "Test Patterns: Vol.1" captures Monster Magnet at their most experimental, stripping away the polished stoner-metal hooks of their later years to focus entirely on mind-bending, long-form psychedelic jams. On vinyl, the gritty, retro-futuristic production feels massive, delivering a rumbling low-end and a swirling, spacious soundstage that forces your turntable to become a time machine to the late-80s underground.

"Test Patterns: Vol.1" is an essential LP for die-hard Monster Magnet fans, stoner rock historians, and space-rock purists alike. It is a loud, uncompromising piece of heavy rock history that needs to be experienced on wax.
