Motograter is an American nu metal band formed in 1995. They are best known for their homemade instrument, the "Motograter", designed with industrial cable and guitar pieces that creates a unique bass sound. The band is also known for painting themselves in a tribal style body paint for live concerts.
Under the band's original line-up, they released two EPs, Hugh Chardon and Indy. Original singer Zak Ward left the band in 2002 and was replaced by Ivan "Ghost" Moody. Motograter released their only studio album Motograter in 2003. The band went on hiatus in 2005, disbanded after playing a one-time reunion show in 2006, and then reformed with a new line-up in 2008, featuring singer Michael "Angel" Woodruff. They released the EP Pre-Release in 2009, and toured until the band's second split up in 2011. The band reunited again in late 2013, performing at Slipknot's Knotfest the next year. In December 2014, Woodruff left Motograter and soon after the band announced James Anthony Legion as vocalist. Motograter began recording of their sophomore album Desolation in January 2016 with Ahrue Luster ( Ill Nino, Machine Head, Terror Universal) overseeing production, expected to be released later this year.
Motograter is the debut album released by the nu metal band Motograter on June 24, 2003. Although the album has a total of 22 tracks, half of them are short, static tracks, which are all the names of the tracks reversed. For instance, Eman On is a reversed version of No Name, and a message can clearly be heard in the last 5 seconds. This is the band's only release to feature Ivan "Ghost" Moody as lead vocalist as well as all other band members with the exception of Matt "Nuke" Nunes.
