MOS GENERATOR formed during the winter of 2000 in Port Orchard, Washington from the ashes of a ten year off & on collaboration between it's three members, all of which are long time veterans of road & studio. The need to strip down to the basics of hard rock was apparent from the start and continues to be the foundation for all the bands recent material. MOS GENERATOR have released 6 studio albums, a retrospective album, a live album and a plethora of split 7 and 12” singles.
MOS GENERATOR have just finished mastering their brand new album entitled 'Abyssinia' which is scheduled for a July release.
The band's hyper creative main man and writer of more than 1000 songs Tony Reed comments : “Abyssinia” is the continuation of an open relationship with many musical styles. This kind of exploration has always been a part of my writing but now I am letting the flood gates open and I’m welcoming all of my musical influences to flow through the songs. “Strangest Times” and “Red Canyons” are very typical MG style heavy rock songs but tunes like “Outlander“, which takes a lot from the soundtrack era Pink Floyd, or “Catspaw“, which sounds like something I would have written at age 20 under the influence of Husker Du and Voivod, move the band into a whole new area that I’m very excited to be moving towards."
"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".
