Monster Magnet - Spine Of God (Vinyl LP | DE Original | 1991)

Monster Magnet – Spine Of God is the first studio album by the New Jersey band led by singer and guitarist Dave Wyndorf. It was recorded in 1991 at Subterranean Sound in Long Branch and produced by Dave Wyndorf and John McBain. It came out in Europe in 1991 on German label Glitterhouse and in the US in 1992. Sales were slow at first, but it is now seen as an early example of stoner rock; Spin listed it among 1991's ten best albums you didn't hear.
