MOTOGRATER Appears To Have Reunited With Vocalist IVAN MOODY

Ivan Moody appears to have all but confirmed long-swirling rumors of his return to Motograter, sending shockwaves through the metal community and reigniting interest in the band that helped shape his early career.

Speculation began earlier this week when Michael “The Kidd” Stewart, a former Motograter member known for performing the band’s infamous namesake instrument, claimed on social media that Moody was back in the band. While Motograter have yet to issue an official statement, the Five Finger Death Punch frontman has now added his own fuel to the fire.

Taking to social media, Moody shared a post indicating he plans to hang out with members of Motograter this coming weekend. Though he stopped short of explicitly confirming a full-scale reunion, fans were quick to interpret the message as a strong signal that something is brewing behind the scenes.

Motograter‘s history is famously on-again, off-again. Originally formed in 1995, the industrial metal outfit first split in 2005, only to reunite for a one-off show in 2006. A more sustained comeback followed from 2008 to 2011, before another breakup and yet another reunion spanning 2013 to 2018.

Across that turbulent timeline, Motograter have released just two full-length albums — their self-titled debut in 2003 and Desolation in 2017 — alongside three EPs issued between 1998 and 2009.

The band’s most high-profile era came between 2002 and 2005, when Ivan Moody served as frontman. His vocals feature prominently on Motograter‘s 2003 self-titled album, which gained mainstream exposure through placements on soundtracks for NASCAR Thunder 2004 and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Shortly after leaving Motograter, Moody went on to global success with Five Finger Death Punch, fronting the multi-platinum groove metal juggernaut.

As of now, there’s still no official confirmation from Motograter regarding new music, live shows, or a lineup announcement. But with a former member openly teasing a reunion and Moody himself hinting at renewed connections, the possibility of a Motograter comeback — with its most famous frontman — suddenly feels very real.
