Biography

San Antonio TX, United States (1995 – 2005, 2009 – present)

Motograter is an American nu metal band. They are best known for their homemade instrument the “motograter” - designed with industrial cable and guitar pieces that creates a very deep bass sound. The “motograter” instrument originally took place of the original bass guitar but now accompanies it. The band is also known for painting themselves in a tribal style body paint for concerts.

Motograter was founded in San Antonio, Texas in 1995 by Bruce “Grater” Butler playing the Motograter, Joey “Smur” Krzywonski on percussion, Chris “Crispy” Binns on drums, and Zak “The Waz” Ward on vocals.

In 2000 during the recording of their first album, Indy, they added Eric Gonzales who handled electronics and samples.In 2001 they added guitarist Neil Godfrey. 2002 saw the departure of Godfrey, Gonzales, and Zak. They found a new guitarist in Matt “Nuke” Nunes, and a new vocalist in Ivan “Ghost” Moody.

In 2003 they released their first major label album entitled Motograter. It was the first Album to feature real guitars instead of samples. Before the album was even released, they added second guitarist JR, and Zak re-joined the band handling electronics/samples and also providing back-up vocals, making the band a 7-piece.That summer, Nuke left the band and they remained a 6-piece for a little while but eventually replaced Nuke with Ty Fury.

    Their self-titled album is fuckin' great. Brutal & Melodic, & that sample on "Wrong".. too bad they went nowhere. Real sad.

    Those wanting new releases from the 2009 line-up should follow Riven on Facebook...they have a few members and are even better I think.

    I think, that it was a very good idea to take Ivan in the band and it's quite sad, that they won't release new album in nearest future.

    anyone anywhere know where the original motograter demo/album is available for purchase / download? i'm talking about the one that had all the tribal drums and the motograter itself as the main instrument and the vocalist was really gutteral, none of this nu-metal stuff; it was really raw and so awesome (not that i don't like the s/t record).
