Motograter Deny Reports Of Significant Lineup Change

Posted by caemanamelio on

NuMetal.net recently reported that everyone had exited Motograter except guitarist/vocalist Matt “Nuke” Nunes, but the band have now denied those claims. They said the following:

“Everything is fine, we just completed our headline tour. Something small got blown out of proportion in the media due to a disgruntled ex-member falsely reporting that we broke up and spreading the news to other websites. That couldn’t be further from the truth. We are the strongest we’ve ever been! We have festivals coming up and then the Terror Universal co-headlining tour coming up after that. We are ready to rock!”

The site originally made the report after apparently getting a hold of a text conversation from guitarist Jesse Stamper that said him and all the other members were out. It is unclear if he is the “disgruntled ex-member” or if its former drummer Noah “Shark” Robertson who has connections with the aforementioned site.

Motograter Premiere “Daggers” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Motograter have premiered a new video for their song “Daggers,” via Loudwire. This track is from the band’s latest album “Desolation.”

Matthew “Nuke” Nunes commented:

“Firstly we would have never been able to pull this off without the support of Mikey Doling at JaxxRock Ent and Angel Chavez at DW Drums. Shooting the ‘Daggers’ video was a great experience all around. We are very proud of what we were able to accomplish. The director Matt Lord Zane and crew – especially the amazing Laney Chantal (makeup/paint) – were nothing short of incredible to work with. We would be remiss to not give a huge shout out to Mike Tempesta at Jackson EVH for loaning us the awesome amps and heads. Motograter is truly excited to show the world something we feel is a true piece of art. See you on the road soon!”

He also added the following about the group’s upcoming dates:

“We are so excited to finally get back on the road! We have a deadly new lineup and are ready to crush the stage every night. C’mon on out and witness the beautiful mayhem we will ensue upon the metal masses!”

Robertson:

“I’ve had enough. I tried to go about this diplomatically. I did my best to remain silent, out of respect for the band and the fans. But one can only go so long, when people are out there spreading lies and rumors about you. Fans and friends are turning against me. People are emailing me, texting, and calling – harassing me, threatening me, saying horrible things about my character. Continue reading →
