Motorowl THIS HOUSE HAS NO CENTER Release Show - Mit Special Guests: Goat Explosion & Grimm

Motorowl
After the release of their first album OM GENERATOR on Century Media Records, the five-piece powerhouse had an intensive tour schedule with bands such as Solstafir, Grave Pleasures and All them Witches. Immediately afterwards, they played festival gigs at Burg Herzberg Festival, the European Desertfest, the Siegen Freak Valley Festival and the Turock Open Air, among others. In summer 2018, MOTOROWL released their second album ATLAS, also via Century Media. With this album, MOTOROWL teamed up with Long Distance Calling to tour Europe for 5 weeks. In 2019, the five Thuringians then went largely solo to play several festivals in the summer and a tour through Scandinavia and Germany in the winter. The band used the forced break due to the pandemic to prepare for a new recording process as self-sufficiently as possible in order to record new material quickly. Once again, MOTOROWL visited Off the Roads Studio and their own facilities and recorded a lot of new material within 3 months. 2022 saw the self-release of the 7" vinyl single SHAPESHIFT HOOLIGANS. In 2023 the band announced that they were working with German label Supreme Chaos Records on a new release, which will be released in 2024 under the name THIS HOUSE HAS NO CENTER as the band's third full-length. The new album was mixed by Pieter Kloos.

The band describes their new album as follows
"With a new, dark sound, we wrote songs that are thematically located in our house without a center. The house without a center is a shield, a mirror and a shelter. Not just for us, for everyone."


Goat Explosion
With "Threatening Skies", Goat Explosion have released their brilliant, almost 60-minute second album in 2023, which combines traditional doom, heavy and epic metal, sludge and elements of extreme metal. Fat walls of riffs, pounding drums, catchy melodies and melodic, melancholic vocals radiate hope and hopelessness in equal measure. Let there be Doom!


GRIMM
Solo project of Kasan drummer Carlo Reuther, GRIMM takes the classic one man band to a new realm of energy. It`s a genre defying blend of distorted synthesizers, epic singing and relentless drumming. Playing every instrument simultaneously without playback or overdubs, GRIMM creates a fucked-up Terminator sountrack, an intense experience, an immersive bath in bass, noise, and fog. There is influence of bands like Boris or The Body but also a big nod to the cheesy synth sounds Vangelis and Brian Eno created in the 80`s. In contrast to more experimental noise or ambient projects, GRIMM focuses on arrangements and defined song-writing. The music is tightly constructed but always keeps embracing the excess. Although being one person only, GRIMM sounds like an entire band, creating an enticing hybrid of Synthwave, Garage, Ambient and Doom with an Eighties coating.

GRIMM
The solo project of Kazan drumming great Carlo Reuther, GRIMM takes the classic one-man band into a whole new dimension of energy. It's a genre-defying mix of distorted synthesizers, epic vocals and relentless drumming. As each instrument is played simultaneously, GRIMM creates a fucked-up Terminator soundtrack, an intense experience, an immersive bath in bass, noise, and smoke. There are influences from Boris or The Body but also a big nod to the cheesy synth sounds created by Vangelis and Brian Eno in the 80s. In contrast to more experimental noise or ambient projects, GRIMM focuses on arrangements and defined song-writing. The music is tightly constructed but always engages in uninhibitedness. Even though it's just one person, GRIMM sounds like a whole band, creating a captivating blend of synthwave, garage, ambient and doom with a slight 80s twist.
