World of Darkness
World of Darkness is the name given to three related but distinct fictional universes created as settings for supernatural horror themed role-playing games. It is also the name of role-playing games in the second and third settings. The first was conceived by Mark Rein-Hagen, while the second was designed by several people at White Wolf Gaming Studio, which Rein-Hagen helped to found. The first two World of Darkness settings have been used for several horror–themed role-playing games that make use of White Wolf's storyteller/storytelling system, as well as Mind's Eye Theatre, a live action roleplaying game based on the core games. The third, Monte Cook's World of Darkness, created by Monte Cook based on the first two World of Darkness settings, includes only a single product.
Terminology and themes
In order to avoid confusing the two product lines, players refer to the most recent version of the World of Darkness line, released on August 21, 2004, as "New World of Darkness", and the previous version as "Classic World of Darkness". Prior to the re-release of cWoD it was often referred to as "oWoD" for "Original" or "Old" World of Darkness.
Motograter
Motograter is an American nu metal band formed in 1995. They are best known for their homemade instrument, the "Motograter", designed with industrial cable and guitar pieces that creates a unique bass sound. The band is also known for painting themselves in a tribal style body paint for live concerts.
Under the band's original line-up, they released two EPs, Hugh Chardon and Indy. Original singer Zak Ward left the band in 2002 and was replaced by Ivan "Ghost" Moody. Motograter released their only studio album Motograter in 2003. The band went on hiatus in 2005, disbanded after playing a one-time reunion show in 2006, and then reformed with a new line-up in 2008, featuring singer Michael "Angel" Woodruff. They released the EP Pre-Release in 2009, and toured until the band's second split up in 2011. The band reunited again in 2014, performing at Slipknot's Knotfest that same year. In January 2015, Motograter parted ways with Woodruff and soon after announced James Anthony Legion as vocalist. Motograter announced the recording of their sophomore album, tentatively slated for production in late 2015 or early 2016. Ahrue Luster (Ill Nino, Machine Head, Terror Universal) has been announced as overseeing production on the new album.
Motograter (album)
Motograter is the first and, so far, only album released by the nu metal band Motograter on June 24, 2003. Although the album has a total of 22 tracks, half of them are short, static tracks, which are all the names of the tracks reversed. For instance, Eman On is a reversed version of No Name, and a message can clearly be heard in the last 5 seconds. This is the band's only release to feature Ivan "Ghost" Moody as lead vocalist as well as all other band members with the exception of Matt "Nuke" Nunes.
