Motorpsycho is a band from Trondheim in Norway . Their music can generally be defined as Psychedelic Rock , but they also mix in elements from Metal , Jazz , Rock , Pop and many other musical styles. The members of the band are Bent Sæther ( Bass / Vocals ), Hans Magnus "Snah" Ryan ( Guitar / Vocals ) and Håkon Gebhardt ( Drums ). Since March 2005 Håkon Gebhardt is no longer part of the band. A press release is published at the unofficial homepage . Formed in the late Eighties as an alternative metal band, Motorpsycho soon developed a unique blend of Grunge , heavy metal and indierock, as well as incorporating the sonic noise experiments of associated member Deathprod . The hugely ambitious, progressive double album " Demon Box " ( 1993 ) followed a series of low-profile EPs and albums, earning the band a nomination for a Norwegian Grammy, and secured a loyal following in Germany , Belgium and the Netherlands as well as in Scandinavia . The Nineties was an extremely productive era for the band, releasing new material almost every year, and enjoying critical acclaim for each album - if not the massive sales the music press kept predicting. With the 2000 album " Let Them Eat Cake ", Motorpsycho suddenly took huge steps away from their noisy hard rock roots, opting instead for a smoother, jazz-tinged approach to the songwriting and recording process. They kept this technique for the subsequent releases, Phanerothyme and It's A Love Cult . The long awaited new double album Black Hole/Blank Canvas was released 17th/20th march 2006 in Europe, but it was leaked on the internet prior to this date. The album has got great reviews, and it is considered one of their best albums ever, proving the skill of the arguably most innovatie Norwegian band the last decade. Today, their cult status and extremely loyal fans remains unmatched by any Norwegian band. LINE UP
