MOTOGRATER Debut "Parasite" Lyric Video

Motograter are gearing up for the release of their sophomore album, Desolation. The band has released a new lyric video for the song “Parasite”, produced by Brian Cox of Flarelight Films (Gemini Syndrome / Hollywood Undead). “Parasite” also features  guest keys and samples from Justin Fowler of American Head Charge.

Desolation was produced by Ahrue Luster (Ill Nino, Machine Head) and mixed by Joshua Wickman (Within The Ruins, KING 810). The album was engineered by Luster, Wickman, and Jon Berrier and was recorded at Illustrious Productions, Dreadcore Productions, and Blackplate Productions. Pre-order the album now via Pledge Music.

The artwork was provided by Sam Shearon, who has created covers for comic books and graphic novels including Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, Judge Dredd, The X-Files, Mars Attacks, KISS, and Clive Barker’s Books of Blood and album sleeve artwork and merchandise designs for some of the biggest names in rock music, such as Godhead, Ministry, Rob Zombie, Iron Maiden, Powerman 5000, Biohazard, American Head Charge, Rammstein, Fear Factory and Kill Devil Hill.

This marks the band’s first full-length album since the 2003 Elektra / No Name self-titled release featuring Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch) on vocals. Now fronting the band is James Anthony Legion (Deadform / The Breathing Process).
