Motorbastards are a Motörhead-devoted power trio from Curitiba led by bassist and vocalist Carlão Bastard, whose rumbling low-end and raspy delivery draw unmistakable parallels to Lemmy Kilmister. The band channels classic rock 'n' roll aggression through a speed metal lens, and their debut album of original material, 'Divisão Rock N Roll,' sold its entire limited pressing within a year of release.
A heavy/speed metal act from Rieti in Lazio, Motorbreath has been delivering high-octane metal since 2013. The band's Metallica-referencing name signals their devotion to classic speed metal.
Motorcrush play a direct brand of heavy and thrash metal rooted in the classic American acts — Metallica, Megadeth, and Pantera are the most audible touchstones. Their debut demo 'I Control You' introduced the band with six tracks covering themes of war, personal freedom, and societal control.
MotorDeath is a DIY death/punk band from Thessaloniki, Greece, fusing death metal aggression with punk energy. Their releases 'Strangled by Slavery' and 'Trenched Existence' deliver raw, underground-ethos-driven extremity from the city's DIY scene.
Motores Malditos draw on the heavy riff traditions of Black Sabbath, Kyuss, and Electric Wizard to build a thick-toned stoner metal sound. The quartet from Formiga, MG has moved quickly, releasing their self-titled debut in late 2023 and following it with the full-length '¡Malditos Motores!' just months later in April 2024.
Motorfire is a heavy metal and hard rock act from the Karst region of Slovenia, active since 2013. The band channels the rugged limestone landscape into driving, motorized metal.
Motorik Road Trip is a stoner metal and rock band from Bristol, England, formed in 2023. They blend motorik rhythms with stoner metal heaviness.
Motorized Tarantula is a groove metal band from Solothurn, Switzerland, whose 2015 self-titled debut delivers five tracks of thick, riff-heavy grooves with titles like "Black Widow" and "Burn My Scars." Their sound channels the mid-tempo chug and swagger of groove metal's American architects into a compact Swiss package.
