MOS GENERATOR formed during the Winter of 2000 in Port Orchard, Washington from the ashes of a decade-long on-again-off-again collaboration between its three members, all of which are long time veterans of the road and studio. The need to strip down to the basics of hard rock was apparent from the start and continues to be the foundation for the band’s recent material.
MOS GENERATOR has released seven studio albums, a retrospective album, a live album, and a plethora of split releases. 2015 brought in a new rhythm section and touring possibilities far beyond the limitations of the original lineup. This new lineup has changed the band into a relentless touring machine, delivering critically-acclaimed performances both states and abroad.
“The title track is a bluesy, fun rocker, demonstrating exactly why MOS GENERATOR have become a fixture in the underground.” – Decibel
“…if ‘Shadowlands’ at the beginning of the album is depression, then surely ‘Gamma Hydra’ is the accompanying mania….From the hard-driving opening salvo of ‘Shadowlands,’ ‘The Destroyer,’ and ‘Drowning In Your Loving Cup,’ down through the frenetic payoff of ‘The Wild & Gentle Dogs,’ MOS GENERATOR prove once again to be a group unto themselves in the quality of their work and the clear-headedness with which they execute their creative will.” – The Obelisk
“Shadowlands opts for a heavier direction without losing sight of MOS GENERATOR‘s ’70s rock roots.” – Sputnik Music
“…a fun, energetic album…” – Mxdwn
“…in terms of mindset, Shadowlands may be one of their darkest records thus far.” – Riff Relevant
“There’s something to be said about an album that not only lasts multiple play-throughs, but instills the urge to immediately run it through again…” – Metal Assault
“The almost effortless brilliance that is displayed by MOS GENERATOR on Shadowlands is nothing short of awe inspiring…. If you dig Fu Manchu, Black Rainbows, Orange Goblin or the like and you aren’t familiar with this band, you need to be…” – Outlaws Of The Sun
“Never cumbersome as the album falls into a tidy under forty-minute vinyl timeframe, Shadowlands gives listeners another US band unafraid to take Ozzy-era Sabbath and add in that southern/stoner/bluesy charm to make quite a final product that entertains and translates easily live.” – Dead Rhetoric
“…genuine and consistent MOS GENERATOR, delivering classic and melodic heavy rock with Tony Reed’s fine voice and guitar leading the way. Get your groove on and get the album. Recommended.” -Danger Dog
“If there’s such a thing as fusing some soul into a doom palette, MOS GENERATOR has achieved that. Seldom will you hear an unambiguous merge between the two outside of Black Sabbath’s Sabotage. MOS GENERATOR have tapped into a loud vibe featuring sinister and coarse nuances yet with something revealing far more heart. — Blabbermouth
