Generous Maria

Generous Maria first saw life in 1998 in Gothenburg - Sweden and right from the get go they delivered some seriously infectious grooves and melodic hooks. The first real proof of this was the split E.P. with Skua that Spanish label Alone Records released almost six years ago.
Further proof of Generous Marias excellence as a hard rocking groove machine came when they got signed by Lunasound Records. Out of this union came a love child in the form of Generous Marias first fullength album Command of the New Rock, an album so good that its been said to increase your sperm count and lower your IQ.



Then Lunasound Records closed its doors, but Generous Maria managed to retrieve the rights on the Command of the New Rock album. During all this Generous Maria managed to release a couple of songs on different compilations and (self)released their first 7 vinyl single Crawl Back In.



The band found a new home when the Command of the New Rock album was re-released via Buzzville Records in an expanded edition (including four bonus tracks). And now its time for another chapter in the ongoing Generous Maria saga with their second studio album Electricism. With this album the band have both managed to keep all those ingredients that makes the Generous Maria sound so unique and yet somehow also broaden their musical horizon in ways that probably will both surprise old fans and win them a lot of new ones. Electricism is way more mature and dark than its predecessor.



Electricism was produced by guitarplayer Dan Johansson and was mastered at the Mastering Room in Goteborg, Sweden by Goran Finnberg (e.g. Spiritual Beggars, The Quill, Opeth, Blind Dog, The Haunted,). Christian Smedstrom (The Awesome Machine) plays additional guitar on Precious And Grace. Italian cult-artists collective Malleus were again, as they also made the one for Command Of The New Rock release - responsible for the album artwork.
