When you think of heavy metal, the electric guitar is often the first instrument that comes to mind, with its iconic, distorted electric roar. But one band, Motograter, has defied metal conventions by inventing their own instrument. Formed in 1995, Motograter has been cranking out fiercely original sounds thanks to their eponymous creation, the 'Motograter.' This custom-built apparatus, fashioned from industrial cable and guitar pieces, emits a distinctive bass sound that has become synonymous with the band's identity. But their innovation doesn't stop with instrumentation—Motograter's hallmark tribal style body paint for live shows has fans riveted, solidifying their status as true performers.
From their initial EPs 'Hugh Chardon' and 'Indy', to their tumultuous hiatus and the eventual release of 'Desolation' in 2017, Motograter's journey is one of relentless evolution. The band has seen several lineup changes; the most notable being the switch of original singer Zak Ward to keyboards and samples, paving the way for Ivan 'Ghost' Moody to lead vocals on their debut album. They even experienced an indefinite hiatus before they re-incarnated with a rejuvenated lineup, continuing to tour and create.
One can't mention Motograter without a nod to their performance at Slipknot's Knotfest, a testament to their enduring appeal and the raw energy they bring to the stage. Driven by the footsteps of metal legends and carving a path of their own, Motograter invites us into a unique auditory realm where metal meets innovation. As they continue to inspire and push the boundaries of the genre, one can't help but wonder: What's next for Motograter?
