MOS GENERATOR Celebrate Release of Nomads LP with Limited Edition Package






“Lying down, headphones blasting in the dim light of a laptop, one word kept coming to mind, over and over: excellent. That’s Pacific Northwest metal legends Mos Generator’s new album Nomads, their first in five years.”  --  New York Music Daily

And, on Tuesday, October 23rd, Nomads became available to the masses world-wide!

After being built up for months now, Mos Generator’s Nomads is flying off the shelves and is becoming the type of album that defines moments in time; where listeners remember exactly where they were the moment the album spun for the first time; a fingerprint in time. The band also recently played a monumental show in Seattle opening for the godfather's of doom, St. Vitus, drawing accolades from folks such as John Perez, guitarist for the legendary and massively influential band Solitude Aeturnus who stated, “Mos Generator is the real deal when it comes to genuine heavy and hard rock in the States. They should be and deserve to be HUGE!”

To celebrate the world-wide release of the album, Mos Generator and Ripple Music have put together a special limited LP package that includes a signed 11 x 17 poster, exclusively available at the Ripple Music Store. Nomads is available through Nail Distribution in North America, Code 7 in the UK, and Clearspot International thoughtout Europe

Here's what the press has to say:

“Hooks for miles and grooves for longer than that, Nomads is a heavy rocker’s chorus-loaded paradise.”  --  The Obelisk

“With its bad-ass, balls-out, no-bullshit mix of classic, stoner, and cosmic rock, Nomads is unrelenting and packed with pure power, a bigger, bolder, modern day Never Say Die! and, really, how appropriate is that?”  --  Broken Beard

“Just might be the hard rock/metal album of the year!” --Rock Guitar Daily

“Mos Generator and Ripple Music have another winner on their hands. Nomads is a brilliant album”-- Sludgelord

MOS GENERATOR Premiere "Cosmic Ark" Video Exclusively on The Sleeping Shaman



Last month, MOS GENERATOR and The Obelisk teamed up to premiere the first video from Nomads, “Lonely One Kenobi”, and now, the Port Orchard heavy rock trio is teaming up with The Sleeping Shaman for the exclusive premiere of “Cosmic Ark”. Following the great MOS GENERATOR tradition, “Cosmic Ark” blends the bands heaviest moments with heart wrenching melodies, while lyrically teleporting the listener through space and time, and was filmed and directed by Chris Mathews, Jr. for Joonior Studios.

“We brought in a guy that I worked with on some Stone Axe projects,” said Tony Reed on the video direction for the new song, “It’s still a performance video, but unlike “Lonely One”, the lighting plays a bigger role in conveying the moods of the song.”

Watch the video HERE

Nomads will be available world-wide on October 23rd, 2012 through Ripple Music. The nine track album features the heaviness and elegant melody that have become the trademark sounds of the band, but this time lyrically exploring the more introspective paths of soul salvation. Nomads will be available through Nail/Allegro Distribution in North America, Code 7 in the UK, and Clearspot International through continental Europe.

Here’s what the press has to say:

"It’s as pure an example of heavy rock as I’ve heard in 2012" -- The Obelisk

“Tony Reed, Scooter Haslip and Shawn Johnson have tapped into a loud vibe featuring sinister and coarse nuances yet with something revealing far more heart.”  --  Ray Van horn, Jr., Blabbermouth.com

“With its bad-ass, balls-out, no-bullshit mix of classic, stoner, and cosmic rock, Nomads is unrelenting and packed with pure power, a bigger, bolder, modern day Never Say Die! and, really, how appropriate is that?”  --  Broken Beard
 

Also available is last year's re-issue of the 10th Anniversary edition of  Mos Generator's self-titled debut!

MOS GENERATOR Announce New Album Title and Release Date



It’s been five years since the world has heard new material from MOS GENERATOR, and fortunately, that streak is about to end! The brand new MOS GENERATOR full-length album is called Nomads and will be available world-wide on October 23rd, 2012 through Ripple Music. The nine track album features the heaviness and elegant melody that have become the trademark sounds of the band, but this time lyrically exploring the introspective path of soul salvation.

“Nomads, as a whole, is the literal journey that Mos Generator has made,” states guitarist/singer Tony Reed on the theme behind the new record, “The songs are interpersonal tales about the struggles that we’ve all faced with each other, our personal lives, the making of this record, just getting through life. And, of course, there are some science fiction themes, as well.”

The Port Orchard, Washington rock n’ roll nomads spent almost a year tracking, recording, and mixing the new album until they were happy with the end result, constantly holding the material to the light, never wanting to release anything less than stellar.

“The album had to stand up to the Mos history,” continues Reed, “We’ll never put out something that we feel is inferior, and admittedly, there was a lot of second guessing with some of the material selections and mixes.”

Nomads will be available through Nail/Allegro Distribution in the U.S., Code 7 in the UK, and Clearspot International through continental Europe. Look for MOS GENERATOR to hit the road throughout the Pacific Northwest in late September and then possible more road work later in the year and early 2013.
