Queens of the Stone Age put on one of the best shows I've ever seen in a gym at Towson State University. They flat out jammed for the entire set. Of course, Nick Oliveri was a major force for QUOTSA. Now his "Mondo Generator" have signed with Suburban Noize Records and are set to release a new record, Dead Planet: SONICSLOWMOTIONTRAILS.

The new record is timed to release with Nick and Mondo Generator hitting the road with Ozzfest. Nick is apparently psyched. "I can't wait to sweat and bleed with the Ozzfest crowds! I did the main stage with Queens of the Stone Age in 2000. I remember thinking the 2nd stage was much more intimate," says Oliveri. "General admission, no seats, mosh pits, beer, girls, sun and Mondo Generator will be bringing some loud, fast, heavy, sludge to compliment. Let's get it on!"

No doubt, get it on they will. Recorded by producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, System Of A Down) at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 Dead Planet: SONICSLOWMOTIONTRAILS hits stores July 17th.
