Mos Generator - Abyssinia [Clear] Vinyl Record

Abyssinia by Mos Generator is a slow-burning descent into heavy psych meditation - expansive, hypnotic, and unapologetically loud. Released in 2008, it captures the Washington trio stretching beyond brute-force riffing into something moodier and more cosmic.

Born from the same blue-collar ethos that shaped their early catalog, Mos Generator approach Abyssinia with patience and power. The band leans into longer forms and dynamic shifts, allowing their hard rock backbone to breathe through swirling atmospherics and muscular grooves. The result feels less barroom brawl, more desert vision quest.

The title track Abyssinia unfolds in stages, building from simmering tension to towering, fuzz-drenched crescendos. Step Into The Fire locks into a churning, Sabbath-soaked stomp, while Between The Lines reveals a more introspective edge, balancing melody with molten guitar tone. Closing epic I’ve Got You leans into soulful phrasing and slow-burn dynamics, proving the band’s range goes well beyond sheer volume.

Now fully remastered and pressed on clear vinyl, this edition highlights every rumble of the low end and every layer of overdriven guitar. Abyssinia stands as a crucial chapter in Mos Generator’s evolution - heavier, deeper, and tailor-made for collectors who crave their rock with both muscle and mysticism.
