SPKR Introduces Magnetic Eye Records To Europe

Magnetic Eye Records is a boutique label presenting beautifully-designed and curated records from artists across the spectrum of heavy music. Dedicated to presenting new talent and established names in doom,

psychedelia, classic and stoner rock, MER takes pride in contributing to the legacy of the almighty riff. Reflecting this, the label's Redux series honors landmark albums from artists as diverse as Jimi Hendrix , Helmet and Pink Floyd , re-imagined by the likes of Matt Pike , Mark Lanegan , Pallbearer , The Melvins and Zakk Wylde , and is as critical to our identity as curating a roster of ambitious up-and-coming acts like WhiteNails , Domkraft and Caustic Casanova .

MER 's Redux Series came about from idea that the original groundbreaking albums responsible for the foundations of guitar rock and heavy metal are not only worth revisiting again and again as a listener but also for artists to interpret them anew, thus both paying tribute to them and keeping the music fresh. MER therefore became curators and caretakers of these timeless milestones by re-creating and re-imagining them in the new millennium.

Starting with Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland and a succeeding Hendrix best-of, a range of bands both established and up-and-coming was brought together to re-imagine the originals, thus establishing the template for the Redux series, which so far encompasses these titles:

Electric Ladyland [Redux] (Jimi Hendrix)
Best Of James Marshall Hendrix
Meantime [Redux] (Helmet)
The Wall [Redux] (Pink Floyd)
Best Of Pink Floyd
Dirt [Redux] (Alice in Chains)
Vol. 4 [Redux] (Black Sabbath) - coming soon!
Best Of Black Sabbath - coming soon!
