Profile of the band

Sound

Their raw and aggressive sound, along with the stamp of the live shows (swinging from chaotic to obscene, euphoric and visceral catharsis at the time) nourish the achieved renown that music-journalists and other musicians have enlarged describing Motosierra as "the wildest Rock and Roll band from South America."

Lyrics

This characteristic, along with the topics of their songs, strongly contrast with the whole of uruguayan bands included in the National Rock. Violence, rebelliousness and self-destruction in an enviroment where it is used to sing about mundane subjects, reflecting to the point of exhaustion the average Uruguayan flat and monotonous life. They are proper lyrics of an anthem against boredom, tiredness of the monotonous life and desapassionate music. Foul loves, damned women and sex; whisky, drugs and excesses; satanism, blood and revange are proper of the Motosierra's lyrics.

Influences

Considering influences, can be mentioned Turbonegro, Hellacopters, Supersuckers, Zeke and Dwarves, as well classic bands such as Motörhead, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, New York Dolls and Dead Boys; altought, it is worth mentioning that the list could be even more extended. We should agree that the the heritage of bands is the same that carries weith in the whole new generation of bands around the world. Even so, the influence falls on the most significant ones, those which contribute to the self-destructive attitude (like Iggy Pop & The Stooges and Dead Boys), to the defiant sound and, not less important, to the meaning the cultural response takes with the band, among other aspects. It can be also mentioned the influence of Chicos Eléctricos and Cross, but within the framework of Uruguayan Rock.

Manipulator, operator
Fuckin' exterminator
Bloodseeker, sick of it all
Fornicator
Violator

Dressin' like an alligator
Jesus loves re-animator

Just call me when you want
Violator
Manipulator, operator
Fuckin' exterminator

Blow-job on the elevator
Just call me Violator.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Violator" by Motosierra are an allegorical representation of societal corruption and exploitation. The song describes a person who takes advantage of others, manipulating and oppressing them for their own gain. This person is referred to as a "violator" and is portrayed as someone who is both powerful, like a "king of beasts," and also subservient to popular trends and fads, like a "slave of fashion." The lyrics suggest that this person's actions are driven by a desire for power and pleasure, represented by the references to sex and violence.

At the same time, the song also suggests that this person is ultimately powerless and self-destructive. The references to blood and extermination suggest that their actions will ultimately lead to their own downfall, while the reference to Jesus and re-animation suggest that redemption is possible but unlikely. Overall, the song seems to be a criticism of those who exploit and abuse others, arguing that their actions will ultimately bring about their own ruin.
