Tony Reed’s MOS GENERATOR, who formed in 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, inspired the heavy music scene since decades.

The need to strip down to the basics of hard rock was apparent from their start and continues to be the foundation for all the bands recent material. Mos Generator have released 9 full length studio albums, a retrospective album, 2 live albums and a plethora of split 7″ and 12” singles on such labels as Listenable, Roadburn, Small Stone, Ripple, Nasoni, Lay Bare, Hevi Sike, H42, Devil‘s Child, Kozmik Artifactz, Heavy Psych Sounds or just recently, their critically acclaimed split LP with Sludge maniacs Di’Aul via Argonauta Records.

Touring has been just as important to the profile of the band as making records has. Over the years Mos Generator has shared the stage with many great heavy rock bands across Europe and North America including extensive tours with Saint Vitus, FU Manchu, Elder, Spirit Caravan and Atomic Bitchwax. They have also played prestigious festivals throughout Europe including 2 appearances at Hellfest in France, opening up a whole new fan base to the Mos Generator sound.

After 20 years of making music the band shows no sign of slowing down. Now, the band has announced to reissue a finest collection of songs, taken from Mos Generator’s pathbreaking 2007-album, “Tales from the Vault”! Re-mastered and with its blistering new mix, “The Lantern” sounds like a different album and as you have never heard the band before, this exciting collection of tracks will be a definite must-have in every Mos Generator, heavy rock and doom metal record collection. “The Lantern” will be coming out as a limited Vinyl edition only, on February 26th 2021 via Argonauta Records, the pre-sale has just started at THIS LOCATION!

“The Lantern is a collection of songs that were originally released in 2007 on a 10” picture disc as Tales from The Vault.” Says band mastermind, Tony Reed. “The original album has been long out of print so it’s great to be re-releasing these tracks with new mixes and new artwork. The recording sessions, from June 2006, took place in our rehearsal room and capture us live playing brand new songs. A few of them were arranged only a day or two before the sessions started. I think this element makes the songs sound reckless and raw. There is an atmosphere on this record that doesn’t exist on any other Mos Generator release.”

Album Tracklist:

01. Dyin’ Blues
02. In The Upper Room
03. The Lantern
04. Nightwolf
05. O’Cataa

KNOLL Release Debut Single ‘Scattered Prism’

Ripping out of the Memphis underground with their debut single is KNOLL. A group of college-age musicians have crafted their take on grindcore-meets-death metal – adding their own twists on the genre, and sparing nothing in their razor sharp delivery. Today they have released their debut single, Scattered Prism, which is available to stream now on all digital platforms.

Listen on Bandcamp | Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple Music

Of the single, the band comment:
“Scattered Prism is the first in a series of sonic batterings spanning the winter months. We recorded it as a fragment of a much larger piece, encompassing the first iterations of experiments with sound and its geometry. The track is descriptive of an innumerably sided prism that expands and contracts, permeating the psyche as a manifestation of intrusive thought.”

Scattered Prism is a precursor for future missives from KNOLL, but it’s more than enough to get your teeth into. Offering up discordant aggression and oppressive atmosphere, Scattered Prism is the first work to emerge from recording sessions with Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recordings, in Chicago, IL, this past summer.  The song was then mixed by Kurt Ballou and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. 

Despite present circumstances curtailing their live activity, they have already notched up performances with The Black Dahlia Murder, Negative Approach, Sanguisugabogg, Today Is The Day and more heavy hitters. Until conditions allow for their live aural assault to recommence, KNOLL in a recorded form is just the blistering experience needed to tide us over. 

Scattered Prism is self-released on November 6, with further music set for release in due course.

SICKWALT Release New Single ‘Demand The Stage’

After earning their reputation by setting legendary NYC stages on fire, SickWalt unleashes a sound-defining effort with their latest single Demand The Stage, out now via X-Ray Records. Demand The Stage is taken from their upcoming album Shove n’ Love.

Demand The Stage is an addictive, head-bobbing, toe-tapping song with blazing crisp guitar riffs, thumping & pumping drums, and a robust bottom end that lays the foundation for SickWalt’s unique vocal style. It also has that undeniable NYC sound!

SickWalt certainly have the pedigree to create some major noise on the rock scene. The band is fronted by Walt “Sick Walt”, Matt Middleton on guitar, Rob Buckley on bass (Cro-Mags, Urban Sun, M-16) and Eric Arce on drums (The Misfits, Murphy’s Law, Skarhead, Maximum Penalty).

Stream/buy Demand The Stage HERE

SickWalt is an unapologetic NYC rock n’ roll band from Astoria, Queens. With a sound that captures the same energy that all-time greats like MC5 and AC/DC channelled in their early work, the band is a needed reminder of what rock n’ roll can be. 

Since being founded in 2014, SickWalt has earned a reputation on the New York scene as a live act to be reckoned with. They use stages like St. Vitus, The Bowery Electric, and The Mercury Lounge to send crowds into tailspins and are notoriously hard to follow, just ask The Dickies. Just ask Agent Orange. Just ask D.O.A. or The Waldo’s or Handsome Dick and the Dictators. They’ll all tell you the same thing: playing with SickWalt makes for a legendary show.

With their latest album, Shove n’ Love, SickWalt conjures that adrenaline-in-a-can spirit of their live shows and combines it with the band’s most developed sound to date. The result? A kickass album with enough energy to pick you up off the couch and drop you in the middle of a sold-out Saturday night show in NYC.

After two self-released EPs, SickWalt returns with their first full-length album – Shove n’ Love.
