Motörbiography
Motörpenis had its conception somewhere in late 1997, in a pub in Marinha Grande, Portugal. Motörscreamer (guitar) and Skullcrusher (drums), sick of project that went nowhere and tired of not having a rehearsing room, decided to put together a band inspired by the old German master’s of thrash metal of the 80ies. With moral support from friends, Motörscreamer started to compose songs at home which he recorded in tape format. Later, he would pass the tapes to Skullcrusher, who would, in his own bunker, create the drum patterns. Armed with the name Motörpenis, Motörscreamer and Skullcrusher started searching for a third headbanger to provide the bass rumble. Poserkiller, who seemed an obvious choice, completed the line-up and learned the songs in exactly the same fashion as Skullcrusher. This would be the first live Motörpenis line-up, but two more would soon follow, with Poserkiller leaving and being replaced by Ejaculator who would soon be replaced by Penetrator. Curiosity: throughout the years of 98 and 99 Motörpenis didn’t rehearse one single time but played over 15 songs on stage. In a nutshell, Motörpenis first incarnation was definitely short but well lived. The truth is that Motörscreamer and Skullcrusher were too loud mouthed and crazy for their local area small scene. Together with their hellraising fans and friends, they had created havoc to the point that no one wanted to invite them to play live. Disappointed and bitter, the duo parted ways (despite never really disbanding), with Motörscreamer going away to college and Skullcrusher entering other musical projects.In 2005 the two maniacs, now more sober and a bit wiser, started talking again about bringing Motörpenis back to active status. With a rehearsal room finally available, Poserkiller was invited to re-join the band, this time taking full charge of the 6-string duties, since Motörscreamer wanted to play the bass. In December 2006 the trio started to rehearse old songs in order to prepare the return to the live-front and a demo release.To be continued…
