MOS GENERATOR released their Shadowlands full-length in North America earlier this year via Listenable Records.
Heavy Blog Is Heavy hailed an, "appetizing, fun slab of heavy rock songs
that should please any fan of the genre," while Metal Nexus championed an
album of, "...power, melody and heart... classic rock, infused with stoner
tendencies and superb musicianship." Shadowlands was recorded in three
sessions - June 2017, November 2017 and January 2018 - at the HeavyHead
Recording Company in Port Orchard, Washington and comes swathed in the cover
art of Adam Burke (Pilgrim, Satan's Satyrs, Hooded Menace, Artificial Brain et
al).

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
