MOTORJESUS are playing a high-octane mixture of classic heavy metal and dirty hard rock. Today the group around singer Chris „Howling“ Birx released their brand-new studio album “Hellbreaker”.

And as if this wasn’t enough, they also have a new video clip up their sleeves that also just has been released Friday, April 9The album track  „Firebreather“ was lucky to receive an own video with a dash of Star Wars/doomsday mood and scenery. Curious? 

The band is pretty active in the German live scene since the early 2000s. They already played numerous tours with Motörhead, Anthrax, Prong, Mustasch and many more. They also played many live festivals like the famous German Summer Breeze Festival or the Rock Hard Festival.

After they released their first live album, “Live Resurrection”, in 2020, the Corona pandemic sadly affected MOTORJESUS‘ ability to perform live. Instead, the band then focused on a new album that will be out now under the name “Hellbreaker”. It’s their 7th studio album so far. For the new album, MOTORJESUS tried to write a compact and explosive Hard Rock album with no ballads involved this time. Songs like the burning “Car Wars” or the fuel-driven “Dead Rising” have a slightly more punk based Rock’n’Roll drive to it, while other songs like the metal forging “Hellbreaker” or the epic “Lawgiver” are more true to their 80´s heavy metal roots from Judas Priest to Iron Maiden. But there are some traditional MOTORJESUS tunes e.G. the opening track “Drive through Fire” or the groove-laden “Firebreather”, which stays true to their well-established brand of metal, classic rock, stoner and other influences.

The most important thing is that the fists can rise, and the crowd is singing along. The new line up – especially new guitarist Patrick Wassenberg – brought in some new influences, burning solo guitars and a look to new frontiers in songwriting. Nevertheless, the boys from MOTORJESUS still stay true to themselves, and they are now ready to hit the road again with their new album “Hellbreaker”.
