SPASTIK DEATH

GENEROUS MARIA-COMMAND OF THE NEW ROCK (LUNASOUND)

With cartoon artwork, that reminded me of Gorillaz, literally, come a band with a rather strange monicker-Generous Maria-and their brand of groovy, low end, heavy, raunchy, spiritual, Stoner, Rock-'N'-Roll, as they successfully blend various elements taken from Atomic Bitchwax, Marilyn Manson, Monster Magnet, and Queens of the Stone Age. Opener "BIG SHINY LIMO" kicked me in gear, and in the *ss, with it's b*lls-out approach, the down and dirty "ALL UNITS ARE OUT", is jam-packed with mood and feeling, the concept and style of "ANCHORAGE & QUITO" that trips me out, the catchy riffs and songstructure of the sexual "ALL GOOD THINGS (MUST COME TO AN END)" that had me hooked, from it's first notes, and is my overall favourite on this disc. Generous Maria "command" and conquer!
