Bio:
There could hardly be a better symbol of Mönchengladbach rock act Motorjesus’ ambitions than the cover of their latest album, Wheels Of Purgatory, due out on 10 December 2010 on Drakkar/Sony: the Son of God with a fag in the corner of his mouth, riding a black Pontiac V8, bolting straight from hell on his way to new adventures. “We preach rock’n’roll,” vocalist Chris ‘Howling’ Birx explains, delivering this solemn statement with wink, just like the album’s inspired artwork isn’t to be taken entirely seriously. That this obvious sense of humour also includes verve and fun, wildness and spiritedness, but first and foremost a lot of energy and a talent for haunting compositions becomes as obvious on this masterpiece as it did on the heavy rock albums Dirty Pounding Gasoline (2004, released under the name of The Shitheadz), which was celebrated by the press and extremely popular with the metal community, and Deathrider (2006), both of them earning the band countless live appearances: from youth clubs to concert venues, alongside heroes great and small, from Motörhead to Anthrax, from Volbeat to Misfits, from Prong to Hatesphere, from President Evil to A.O.K. And now there’s their latest album, Wheels of Purgatory – Motorjesus are really letting it rip again!It’s their extremely successful mix of traditional hard rock, down-to-earth metal, sprinklings of rock’n’roll and occasional 90s grunge and stoner rock elements which make Motorjesus stand out. A mix which comes across more homogenously and conclusively in 2010 than ever before. “I feel that Wheels Of Purgatory sounds better overall than its predecessor,” Birx reckons. “Deathrider featured a number of very good songs, but to us, the album also had its weak spots. This time around, the record really gets down to business from the first to the very last note. It’s much more coherent, which is probably also due to the fact that we’ve returned to our stylistic roots.” The reasons for this return are fairly obvious: after a number of short-term line-up changes in 2008 and 2009, Motorjesus are back with their strongest line-up ever. What exactly does this mean? With the exception of their new bassist, Roman Jasiczak, the band is operating in the same constellation as in their early days, in other words with Chris Birx, the two guitarists, Andy Peters and Guido Reuss, and drummer Oliver Beck. These musicians are extremely well rehearsed and share the same musical direction. Yet there was no masterplan for their current songs: “We simply started to write new numbers without worrying about their direction. Perhaps the great homogeneity of the material is also due to the fact that a number of tracks were conceived in jam sessions at our rehearsal room.”Wheels Of Purgatory was recorded between July and September 2010 at the Sonic Sound Studio in Mönchengladbach, produced and mixed by Achim Kaiser, and mastered, as usual, at the Principal Studios in Münster. The result is definitely worth hearing, in terms of its compositions as well as its sound. The opener ‘Motor Discipline’ sees Motorjesus crossbreed rock with metal, refining this explosive nitrogen mix with a number of surprises. The same applies to the consciously snotty ‘King Of Dead End Road’ and the harsh ´Hammer Of The Lord’ with its ironically witty lyrics on the Redeemer’s new role. “The song describes Jesus as an action hero along the lines of Arnold Schwarzenegger,” Birx points out, adding: “But we only play with all this sacral-religious symbolism, like our band name does; serious blasphemy is completely alien to us, after all we were all raised as good catholic boys.”Motorjesus have recorded a total of 13 powerful rock songs plus a cover version of the Neil Young classic, ‘Old Man’, Wheels Of Purgatory’s atmospheric finale. As already mentioned above: this biblical purgatory puts the heat not only on the Pontiac-driving Jesus, but also stands for the inner fervour of the latest Motorjesus album. Wheels Of Purgatory – a heavenly heavy rock album, and at the same time a veritable ride to hell and back!
Album:
We love a bit of rock n roll… don’t we? Some of us like it all the time, some of us like it half the time, some of us like it only when we are intoxicated and are up for a laugh, either way you know what you’re going to get. There is a growing scale and class of rock n roll. Rolling Stones, The Ramones, Motorhead at one end; Band Tango, Shotgun Messiah and Kingdom Come at the other. Where do Motorjesus fit in on this range? The live album (this is my first encounter with this German rock ‘n roll troop) is always a good starting place if you are new to an established band.So when it comes to a live album: All the hits should be on here plus some more recent ones too, which is true of this album. All the songs should be recorded in one session, not always the case with a live album but this is true here. Which means you get an honest and true representation of the band at this point in time.Motorjesus - Live ResurrectionAfter hearing this album, I felt, even though I have never heard this band before, that I have heard all of these songs previously. I wondered when and where had I heard these songs beforehand? I’ve come to the conclusion very quickly that each country has a Motorjesus. A rock 'n roll band that crawls from the same DNA pool and thrives in the country of origin. They are influenced by the same bands but feed off the nation that houses them. England has The Wildhearts, rock 'n roll tinged with The Beatles; USA has Black Stone Cherry, rock 'n roll with a lick of southern rock; Australia has Airborne, rock 'n roll with... well rock 'n roll but hopefully you get my point. Motorjesus are a rock 'n roll band that come from Germany. And this is where I draw a blank. They are rock 'n roll but they are not influenced by the Scorpions, more Hanoi Rocks, Guns n Roses, but also a smidge of Pantrea and Metallica with a slight southern rock accent.So you can guess what the songs are like, high octane, fast paced good time anthems that encourage a sing along and a dam good time. The best of this bunch is 'The Howling'. Some of the songs are a bit corny, 'Motor Discipline' being very cringe worthy. But all the songs bounce along and singer Chris (Howling) Brix sings with such fire and enthusiasm that if you’re in attendance with some local brew inside of you and a good wind behind you, you’d find it tough not to join in.So let’s put another dime in the jukebox and play some rock ’n roll, if your into that sort of thing.Motorjesus release 'Live Resurrection' on December 20th via Drakkar Entertainment
