Release Notes:
Black Hole/Blank Canvas is the eleventh full lenght
studio album by the Norwegian band Motorpsycho. It
is the first after long-time drummer Hσkon Gebhardt
left the band in spring 2005. The other two
members, Hans Magnus Ryan and Bent Sµther decided
to carry on as a duo. They recorded their new album
in The Void studio in Eindhoven together with
engineer Pieter Kloos and produced their third
double album. It is scheduled to be released on
March 17, 2006 and will be followed by a European
tour. The band will be joined by live drummer Jacco
van Rooij. The first song from the album, "In our
Tree" was first premiered (as a short clip only) on
Norwegian TV station NRK during the program
"Lydverket", and later in full on the radio station
P3.
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 Sµther (bass/vocals),
Hans Magnus "Snah" Ryan (guitar/vocals) and Hσkon
Gebhardt (drums). As of March 2005 Hσkon Gebhardt
is unfortunately 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. Today, their cult status and extremely
loyal fans remains unmatched by any Norwegian band.
