Motus Vita Est
Masina (col)
They are one of the most long lasting bands from these parts of the globe, the heroes of endurance Motus Vita Est! Under the rasp throat of their frontman Hogar and his blood and guitar brother Zoki, 6 albums throughout the career, countless number of live shows, persistance and dedication are the engines that kept them running for almost 30 years. A lot has changed since the bands' initial beginnings. Trends, systems, governments and scenes but Motus Vita Est always stayed true to themselves. The latest studio effort "Masina" has being delivered at the right time after a longer discography pause (previous album "Psi" came out in 2004.). Since the first song there's an obvious step towards more 'metallic' sound they had always strive for, compared to later phases of work by names like Suicidal Tendencies or RKL. The direct lyrical expression which Motus is very well known for is still present. Sharp content and dissection of various sociopolitical and everyday life themes spreads over 10 songs on the album. Very tight line-up in this band incarnation is musically well connected. Constantly exchanging dual guitar riffs, strong bass foundations, upbeat rhythm patterns with occasional double-bass pedal assault and strong vocal delivery. By far this is their most coherent and matured release.
