Motograter was founded in 1995 by Bruce Butler aka Grater. The band was originally a tribal group that experimented with hardcore screams and sampling. In 1999, they became more of a rock styled band, and began to use guitar samples before adding a proper guitarist. They released two independent EPs titled Hugh Chardon (1999) and Indy (2000) with their original vocalist Zak (The Waz). He was later replaced by Ivan Moody, and the band signed with Elektra Records in 2002.

The band released their self-titled debut album Motograter on June 24, 2003, just shortly before their first major tour. Motograter’s second stage slot at Ozzfest 2003 would ultimately lead to the band’s struggles with their label. Like every other band on the second stage classified as nu metal (others included Twisted Method, grade 8, Depswa, Endo, and Unloco), Motograter’s record sales did not improve as much as their record company had hoped. After the tour, Motograter’s camp didn’t say much regarding their future.

Dates were announced for a tour in January 2004, but it received no promotion or tour support from Elektra. The tour was eventually canceled, but the group hinted at Elektra being interested in both a second album and a European tour. Nothing materialized and there were no plans in the works for the band.

Following a headlining tour that was poorly advertised, Motograter did a series of dates with Kittie. They followed this up with an extensive, self-financed tour with Dope that saw the band abandon their trademark body paint.
