DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
The Atomic Bitchwax, originally formed in the mid 90s as a side project of Monster Magnet by veterans of a thriving New Jersey stoner rock scene, quickly carved out their own reputation with a handful of searing releases and near-constant road ethic. Twenty five years after their debut release, the band’s lineup features founder Chris Kosnik on bass and vocals, joined by Bob Pantella on drums and Garrett Sweeny on guitar.

This new reissue of the trio’s fifth album from 2011 delivers an advanced take on its blistering, virtuosic sound via a single glorious 42 minute instrumental track titled “The Local Fuzz” which contains 50 riffs back to back, perfectly capturing the unit’s vivid execution and ambitious vision. Remixed, remastered and pressed on crimson red vinyl with new artwork by renowned rock artist Alan Forbes.

“Rhythm section of Jersey stoner icons Monster Magnet, Long Branch’s Atomic Bitchwax have plowed the trenches of acid metal for nearly two decades...balls-to-the-wall energy through sharp songcraft to blast away limits on what a power trio can do.“ – The Austin Chronicle

“Super Stoner Rock” Jersey boys Atomic Bitchwax shine with “gargantuan riffs and jaw-dropping psych sonics”...required listening for any heavy-metal guitarist...one of the heaviest and grooviest stoner metal bands to plug in and turn it up.” – San Diego Reader
