Mindfucker is the tenth studio album by the American rock band Monster Magnet, released on March 23, 2018, through Napalm Records. Frontman Dave Wyndorf described the band's recent albums as "long-form psych records that were decidedly melancholy" and chose to make a return to a more rock-oriented sound for Mindfucker.[5][6] The album yielded two singles, "Mindfucker" and "Ejection", the latter being a Robert Calvert cover.
