Formed: 1989 in Trondheim, Norway Active In: 80's, 90's, 2000's
Norwegian alternative rockers Motorpsycho formed in October of 1989, in Trondheim, combining the efforts of a three-piece crew, fronted by Bent Saether (bass, vocals), along with Hangus Magnus Ryan (guitar) and Kjell Runar Jenssen (drums). One year after assembling, the trio recorded Mayden Voyage, its first demo tape, which eventually turned out to be delivered months later as Lobotomizer, their first album. Shortly afterward, Jenssen parted ways with the group, and Hakon Gebhardt filled in the drums position. In 1992, Motorpsycho offered its second recording, a vinyl EP titled 8 Soothing Songs for Rut. Demon Box, the Norwegians fourth studio effort, arrived in 1993, along with the contributing keyboard aptitude of Helge Steen.
