Drummer Kenneth Kapstad joined Motorpsycho as a full member late in 2007.
Their new double-CD "Black Hole / Blank Canvas" was released 17th/20th march 2006 in Europe. The album has been getting generally positive reviews, proving the skills of the arguably most innovative Norwegian band of the last decade. Bent Sæther plays drums on this record, except on the track "You Loose", which is played by Jacco van Rooij who also played drums for the band on a short tour in spring 2006.
In activity since 1990, Motorpsycho have released 10 full length albums, as well as a number of EPs, a couple of live albums, and some side-project releases. Over the years, they moved from their initial mixture of metal, grunge and hardcore music, playing almost any kind of musical genre: indie, pop, psych rock, lo-fi, stoner, avantgarde, classic hard rock, acoustic, fusion, jazz rock and country rock as part of the The International Tussler Society.
2008 saw the release of the album, "Little Lucid Moments", containing 4 songs lasting between 11-21 minutes. The release was followed by a European tour in April and May 2008.
Early 2009, Motorpsycho recorded the Patrik Fitzgerald cover Punch with Jello Biafra from Dead Kennedys on vocals. Jello Biafra have, according to Norwegian broadcaster NRK been a fan of Motorpsycho for 16-17 years.
In the autumn of 2009 they released a vinyl-only record, Child of the Future and in January 2010 they released Heavy Metal Fruit, their first album with an outside producer.
On May 23 2016 it was announced on the band's website that Kenneth Kapstad will be leaving Motorpsycho after nine years with the band. The band did not announce a replacement, with supposed upcoming gigs in Brazil and a 40 show stint as the houseband in writer Carl Frode Tiller's play "Begynnelser" at Trøndelag Teater in Trondheim from September 2 2016.
However, on the second day of 2017 the fans could greet the long-awaited news of a replacement with delight. Swedish Trondheim resident Tomas Järmyr who has also played in acts such as Zu, Yodok, Yodok lll, Sunswitch and with Aidan Baker. He also studies at the music conservatory at NTNU – like Kapstad, Ståle Storløkken, Ola Kvernberg, Ketil Møster "and just about every decent musician we’ve worked with over the last decade before him" (quote Bent Sæther, January 2 2017). This piece of news was also supplemented with hints of an upcoming album in the fall of 2017. The album, titled "The Tower" was released on September 8th 2017.
Nothing To Say
Motorpsycho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Gospel according to you
Is broadcast on frequencies
Too frequent to see through
But you've got
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
Nothing to say
I just can't relate to your world, man
There's nothing in it for me
The things you take for granted
I still don't want to see
'Cause you've got
Nothing to say
I'll take you down to a river
And show you how it flows
And tell you a story
And watch you grow
'Cause I've got
Something to say
Something to say
Something to say to you
Something to say
Something to say
Something to say
Something to say
Something to say
Something to say
Something to say
Something to say to you
The lyrics of Motorpsycho's song "Nothing to Say" present a confrontation between two individuals who cannot find any common ground to communicate. The first person, presumably the listener or someone well-known to the singer, has a lot to say but nothing of interest or relevance to the singer. Their "Gospel" or opinions are advertised constantly and loudly, but the singer is unable to see through the noise and find anything meaningful. In contrast, the singer describes their own world as incompatible with the first person's, and they do not appreciate the normal things that the first person takes for granted.
The conflict reaches a turning point in the third verse, where the singer offers an alternative to the first person's chatter. The singer proposes to take them to a river, where they can observe the natural flow of things and listen to a story, something the first person can learn from and grow as a result. The contrast between the first and third verses highlights the struggle between vacuous and profound communication.
One possible interpretation of "Nothing to Say" is as a critique of empty language, which fails to convey any meaningful ideas but serves as a way to project one's ego in a noisy world. The song suggests that silence, nature, and storytelling can be more powerful ways to communicate deeper truths and connect with others genuinely.

I have a memory of when I was 13 or 14 of a commercial promoting a new album from a Heavy Metal band called Motopsycho yet I can't find that band all I find is the Megadeth song Motopsycho and when I tried Motorpsycho I found this band and they did release albums in both my 13th and 14th years but none of them are it. I cannot find this band I saw in the commercial. I don't remember the album title but I remember the album art work and what the single sounded like that was being played. This was around the same time Ozzy Osbourne released Down To Earth as well
