4-Way Diablo is the seventh studio album by American rock band Monster Magnet, released in November 2007. The album was recorded between 2006 and 2007, following frontman Dave Wyndorf's overdose on anxiolytics in February 2006.[5][6] 4-Way Diablo sold 1,800 copies on its first week of release in the United States and is the band's first album since Dopes to Infinity (1995) to not feature guitarist Phil Caivano.
Following the album's release, none of its songs were included in the concert sets. According to frontman Dave Wyndorf, they were not written as live songs and he deemed them too delicate to work as such.[7] The album includes a cover of The Rolling Stones' "2000 Light Years from Home" from their 1967 psychedelic rock album Their Satanic Majesties Request. The track "No Vacation" is a re-recording of the song "Atom Age Vampire" originally featured on the EP Love Monster, a demo collection recorded by Wyndorf in 1988.
